Garils 1.1 1 and Hibernate Plugin 1.1.2 mis smatch

With the update of Grails 1.1.2 and Hibernate plug in 1.1.2. I ran through this error. As my application already was running on grails 1.1.1 so new hibernate plugin ran into compatibility issues.

Error :

plugin hibernate-1.1.2 requires version [1.1.2 > *] of Grails which your current Grails installation does not meet

As i was trying to update the plugins from Intellij idea. So it kept on downloading the greatest version of Hibernate plugin 1.1.2, even after i selected hibernate 1.1.1 in the drop down. So i tried this alternative way and it worked for me :


1. before doing a run-app, run following command

grails install-plugin hibernate 1.1.1

in the application root folder

then, once the plugin is installed, do a grails run-app

2. there is one more way for workaround to this issue.


download and bundle the hibernate-1.1.1 plugin within the application by adding something like:

grails.plugin.location.hibernate = './plugins/hibernate-1.1.1' to the grails-app/conf/BuildConfig.groovy


3. Third way is to upgrade your grails to 1.1.2


Hope this helps.
