I'm working on a Grails project using STS 3.1, and I need to migrate the project to another PC. I copied the folder to the new environment and ran "refresh dependencies". It worked fine. I ran "grails war" succesfuly. The problem is when I try "run on server" I get the error:

"The archive: path to grails directory in old pc/lib/org.codehaus.groovy/groovy-all/jars/groovy-all-1.8.8.jar which is referenced by the classpath, does not exist."

Where can I update this reference ?

Without changing any configuration, now I get a different message:Error occurred during initialization of VM agent library failed to init: instrument Error opening zip file or JAR manifest missing : null –  xain Jan 19 '13 at 2:05
Can you run the app from command line instead of STS ? If yes, check if groovy compiler is set correctly in IDE - Window -> Preferences -> Groovy -> Compiler or Project -> Properties -> Groovy Compiler –  droggo Jan 19 '13 at 18:49
I know with Intellij, I have none of the major issues that wasted my time with STS. Give it a try for 30 days. –  James Kleeh Jan 20 '13 at 3:26
James, was the project migration process (STS->Idea) smooth ? –  xain Jan 20 '13 at 11:13
Yes, it was very smooth –  James Kleeh Jan 20 '13 at 13:43

I ended up migrating to IntelliJ Idea. Let me tell you there's a big difference in features and the price seems right.

Did you try in the .classpath file in the root of the project?

yes, nothing related there –  xain Jan 19 '13 at 17:09
