We are maintaining a webapp developed in Grails 1.3.9.
For monitoring performance, the app had grails-melody 1.21 plugin installed.
It seems that the plugin is not available in the repositories any more for grails 1.3.x. I downloaded it from google-code as suggested in the documentation.
Another post in stackoverflow suggests that zipped plugins can be put in lib and then referenced from BuildConfig.groovy.
plugins {
runtime ":hibernate:1.3.9"
build ":tomcat:1.3.9"
compile ":dojo:1.6.1.17"
// Downloaded from
// https://code.google.com/p/javamelody/downloads/list?can=1&q=grails
// Installed from lib
// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15751285/whats-the-correct-way-to-install-a-grails-plugin-from-a-zip-file
compile ":grails-melody:1.21"
}
I did that and this procedure worked fine when building war file with Oracle JDK 7 (on Ubuntu 14.04). I had to rename grails-grails-melody-1.21.zip to grails-melody-1.21.zip so that it was found.

During the build, melody's dependencies were loaded at the beginning of the build process, when grails file were copies as well:

Resulting war file had javamelody, jrobin and itext jars in WEB-INF/lib.
However, the requirement is to build the app with JDK 1.6 on another machine (Jenkins) where clean checkout of sources is done for every build.

Download of jars happened later in the build process:

However, when creating war with that JDK, javamelody, jrobin and itext jars are not packaged.
Consequently deployment and startup of webapp fails.
SEVERE: Error configuring application listener of class net.bull.javamelody.SessionListener
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: net.bull.javamelody.SessionListener
at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1680)

Thanks,

EDIT: After removing grails files in ~/.grails/1.3.9/ the behaviour with JDK 6 and JDK 7 is the same:
jar files are not packaged and deployment fails.
The way that I managed to solve this issue was to explicitly include melody's deps to BuildConfig.groovy (copy from plugin's dependencies):
dependencies {
// Deps for grails-melody (copied from plugin deps) that are *not* included automatically with plugin.
compile "net.bull.javamelody:javamelody-core:1.44.0"
compile ("com.lowagie:itext:2.1.7") {
excludes "bcmail-jdk14", "bcprov-jdk14", "bctsp-jdk14"
}
compile "org.jrobin:jrobin:1.5.9"
}
plugins {
compile ":grails-melody:1.21"
}
I saw a few bugs open in Grails JIRA that might be related to what I was experiencing and was resolved in 2.x
