same issue here, Grails 2.5.0

[vilhalmer]

After some digging, it's possible to work around this problem by adding
compile "commons-beanutils:commons-beanutils:1.9.2"
to your dependencies in BuildConfig.groovy along with commons-lang3. I'm having other issues with the plugin in Grails 2.5.0 as well, but this at least allows it to compile.

I have same issue Grails 2.5.1

[ask10000]

@vilhalmer added compile "commons-beanutils:commons-beanutils:1.9.2" as you suggested along with mavenRepo "http://repo.grails.org/grails/core". but i keep getting error - Could not find artifact commons-beanutils:commons-beanutils:zip:1.9.2 in grailsCentral (https://repo.grails.org/grails/plugins)
Not sure why is it looking in grailsCentral rather than the grails core repo i added.

Has anyone else got over this issue. I am developing REST API for my app and this plugin looked awesome when it comes to binding of nested domain classes, but this issue is blocking one.

to all struggling with this, getting beanutils from apache site and putting the jar to /lib folder solved the issue for me

I had the same issue with the export excel plugin and grails 2.4.4, I used 1.9.3 jar file from here: http://repo.grails.org/grails/core/commons-beanutils/commons-beanutils/1.9.3/
put it in lib folder, then added:
repositories {
mavenRepo "http://repo.grails.org/grails/core"
...
}
...
plugins {
...
compile ":export:1.6"
}
and the problem solved.

[vvara]

Hi All,
I had placed commons-beanutils-1.9.3.jar under /lib/ directory and added the following in BuildConfig.groovy

repositories {
mavenRepo "http://repo.grails.org/grails/core"
...
}
...
plugins {
...
compile ":export:1.6"
}

But still I get the following error:
| Configuring classpath

@vvara you may need to grails clean first before running
