Take the following extract of BuildConfig.groovy where I want to somehow externalize the version of CXF:

cxfVersion = '2.2.4'
dependencies {
compile "org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-core:${cxfVersion}"
}


If you do a "grails clean" you'll see an exception like:
WARNING: There was an error loading the BuildConfig: No signature of method: org.codehaus.groovy.grails.resolve.IvyDependencyManager.compile() is applicable for argument types: (org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GStringImpl) values: [org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-core:2.2.4]
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: org.codehaus.groovy.grails.resolve.IvyDependencyManager.compile() is applicable for argument types: (org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GStringImpl) values: [org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-core:2.2.4]

The workaround is to use toString() like this:
compile "org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-core:${cxfVersion}".toString()

However that solution is not very elegant
