RE: starting a new grails eclipse project

I too faced the same issue. The way I got it to work was by calling
grails run-app from command line for the project, kill it and then try
again from eclipse.

Also have you enabled "Disable Groovy Compiler Generating Class files"
in the groovy project properties?

And yes, I don't know why it worked...:D

Regards,
Abraham.

Subject: [grails-user] starting a new grails eclipse project

hi, tried to start a new grails eclipse project by doing the following:

0. see
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GRAILS/Eclipse+IDE+Integration and
install the plugin etc.
1. grails create-app and import into eclipse (copying the files) 2.
disable check package matches under groovy properties in eclipse (for
config.groovy) 3. add bin-groovy to compiler output location under
groovy properties in eclipse (even though it's in the preferences) 4.
delete all the .class file in the root of the project folder 5. add
tools.jar as an external lib to the project to fix: Error starting Sun's
native2asci

trying to run gets the following (full output is below):

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating
bean with name 'transactionManager': Cannot resolve reference to bean
'sessionFactory' while setting bean property 'sessionFactory'; nested
exception is
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating
bean with name 'sessionFactory': Invocation of init method failed;
nested exception is org.hibernate.MappingException: An
AnnotationConfiguration instance is required to use <mapping
package="org.grails.bookmarks"/>
