How to add a plugin as a jar to a grails project

I created a custom plugin 'myPlugin' for GRAILS. I compiled and installed it as a binary (my-plugin-0.1.jar) file.

The jar file can't be found by grails in a "normal" project, because it only looks for my-plugin-0.1.zip (the plugin is defined within the plugins-block in BuildConfig.groovy)

How can i add the .jar file as a plugin?

Add it in the dependencies block (not plugins) in BuildConfig.groovy.

Publish plugin installs the jar into local maven cache (/.m2). Verify the existence of the jar in .m2.

Also verify if the application using the plugin has mavenLocal enabled in repositories' buildConfig.

Binary plugins packaged as jar has to be referred in the dependencies section instead of the plugins section in BuildConfig

dependencies {
    compile "mygroup:myplugin:0.1"
}

or you can put the jar in application's lib directory which I would discourage. :)
