I want to use Neo4j graph database for my Grails project. I created a new Grails project (I'm using Intellij Ultimate Edition). The app runs fine. When I try to add the Neo4j dependency (compile ":neo4j:2.0.0-M02") in my BuildConfig.groovy and try to update the project I get the following errors in the console:
Error |

Here is my BuildConfig.groovy:

grails.project.test.reports.dir = "target/test-reports"
grails.project.work.dir = "target/work"
grails.project.target.level = 1.6
grails.project.source.level = 1.6
//grails.project.war.file = "target/${appName}-${appVersion}.war"
grails.project.fork = [

//compile ":handlebars-asset-pipeline:1.3.0.3"
}
}
I even tried to install it with the 'grails install-plugin neo4j' command, but I get the same errors. Some help would be nice. QUICK UPDATE: If I replace the dependency 'compile ":neo4j:2.0.0-M02"' with ' compile ":neo4j:2.0.0-M01"' it works fine. So I guess it has to do with the latest version. I hope someone can provide me an explanation of why it doesn't work.
Partially solved: Thanks to Burt Beckwith I was finally able to make those dependencies work. However when I ran the app I got another error:

Forked Grails VM exited with error
End: The last error had something to do with the hibernate plugin. I removed it, and left only Neo4j, and the app finally started.
The error is telling you that it can't find dependency org.neo4j:neo4j-jdbc:jar:2.0.2 in grailsCentral but that's a little misleading - what this means is that it tried all of your repos listed in BuildConfig.groovy and couldn't find it in any, so it reports the last one it tried.
Googling for neo4j-jdbc maven 2.0.2 leads to https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.neo4j/neo4j-jdbc/2.0.2 which leads to http://m2.neo4j.org/releases/org/neo4j/neo4j-jdbc/2.0.2/ and there is a neo4j-jdbc-2.0.2.jar there. So working backwards and removing the version, id, and group from that url you need to add this repo url:
repositories {
...
mavenRepo 'http://m2.neo4j.org/releases'
}
And then it will resolve.
