Grails - Forked Grails VM exited with error when compiling

It happens when grails tries to compile the project, when --stacktrace and --verbose are used it shows the same output. I tried to reinstall the plugins and grails. I'm using grails 2.4.3

Here's the error:

Running without daemon...
Compiling 230 source files

Error Forked Grails VM exited with error
Solution

  • The problem that you have is that you don't know what is wrong. In order to find the real problem I recommend you change in grails-app/conf/BuildConfig.groovy the parameter: grails.project.fork for this:

    grails.project.fork = [
    compile: false,
    test: false,
    run: false,
    war: false,
    console: false
]

    Try again and you will see the real problem.
