Non-jar dependencies cannot be resolved

I'm having a similar issue. I created my own plugin, added it to Artifactory (I was trying to follow the article by Peter Ledbrook at http://blog.springsource.com/2010/05/18/managing-plugins-with-grails-1-3/), and trying to make a Grails 1.3.2 project depend on it in BuildConfig.groovy:

plugins

When I run any task in my app, it says it can't resolve the plugin. However I have the POM and ZIP located at one of the urls it tries - it just never actually seems to try and connect. When I try the urls by hand in a browser its complaining about, they work (files download).

I even installed tinyproxy and set up Grails to use the proxy. I got no hits while it's trying to resolve this (Yes I did verify my .grails/ProxyConfig.groovy is there and correct). It appears it doesn't even try.

While debugging in the grails source it never even gets to the method 'File resolvePluginZip(String pluginName, String pluginVersion, String scope = "", Map args = [:]) {' in PluginResolveEngine.java as far as I can tell.

It seems something deep down is triggering the error and setting that error report back with stuff it says it tried, but really didn't.

This is still affecting Grails 1.3.3. A simple way to reproduce it is to check out the jetty plugin code, update the grails version to 1.3.3 then try to run `grails dependency-report`

We're forced to use Jetty for now and this is really a Blocker, isn't there any workaround available?

Weird. I can't use jetty anymore in 1.3.3, I have to use tomcat. I get the can't find the jsp-2.0 jar error message.

This affects any app using the Springcache plugin as well as the ehcache dependency is packaged as pom.

This issue is also preventing me from updating to 1.2.x. I hope 1.3.4 comes soon and really resolves it

Fixed by: http://github.com/grails/grails-core/commit/b532585fa8704db2204d37ea9cd0f00d075c276e

Causes a regression of GRAILS-6315 which I will reopen and fix shortly

Functional tests found here: http://github.com/grails/grails-functional-tests/commit/25662527deaa68b6b1e235efd695ffbe2117ab7e

As a workaround I found you can simply reinstall the plugins that cannot be resolved. Remove from plugin reference from application.properties and run install-plugin command.
