i am using windows xp and i'm under authenticated proxy connection. Is the problem because of the connection?

Answer 1

1 test would be to create a brand new project which will have a default buildconfig. Then to try refresh dependencies and even add a new plugin to see if you get same issue

Edited to add:

GRAILS Configuration -- Proxy Settings There are two commands to set proxy in GRAILS.

Add Proxy - adds a proxy server setting in proxysettings.groovy file
Set Proxy - sets the current proxy in the proxysettings.groovy file.

grails add-proxy client --host=proxy-server --port=4300 --username=guest --password=guest grails set-proxy client

For example:

grails add-proxy myproxy --host=internet --port=8085
grails set-proxy myproxy

If you are using windows console then you will need to enclose parameters with double quotes.

grails add-proxy myproxy "--host=internet" "--port=8085"
grails set-proxy myproxy

Settings can then be verified in the proxysettings.groovy file. This file can be located in the .grails folder.

This was from above link, reason for adding it to post, since it has resolved a few issues so far and knowing the net things come and go. So best to include it as part of the answer here in the hope it will remain available for all.
