Failed to read artifact descriptor for xalan:serializer:jar:2.7.1

I imported a grails project using Intellij idea. Now when i tried to run-app the project it shows the following error.

|Configuring classpath
Error |
Resolve error obtaining dependencies: Failed to read artifact descriptor for xalan:serializer:jar:2.7.1 (Use --stacktrace to see the full trace)
Error |
Required Grails build dependencies were not found. This is normally due to internet connectivity issues (such as a misconfigured proxy) or missing repositories in grails-app/conf/BuildConfig.groovy. Please verify your configuration to continue.

Note I am using grails 2.3.8 version.

--Stacktrace results the following message

I'd say java.net.UnknownHostException: repo.grails.org is the core issue. Do you need to configure a proxy? See the docs for the add-proxy command.
