Grails resource tag generating wrong link

I am working on a project in which different modules are divided in different custom created plugins. As for example-

So like now I have all the UI related stuff inside UiPlugin and I am working on Accounting plugin and I have controllers, services and views of all domains in this plugin only.

I am using Resource tag to get all CSS and JS from the UI plugin and have to use it inside the Accounting plugin like-

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="${resource(dir: 'assets/css', file: "datepicker.css")}"/>

which generates http://localhost:8080/PROJECT_NAME/plugins/accountancy-plugin-0.1/assets/css/datepicker.css

but the file is located at- http://localhost:8080/PROJECT_NAME/plugins/ui-plugin-0.1/assets/css/datepicker.css

So the problem is that it is looking inside its own resources. How can I make this resource tag to look for resources in a separate(UI) plugin for resources?

Please note: The business logic has been separated from UI and hence we have multiple plugins and a separate UI plugin which is used by all plugins for getting UI and theme. So they cannot be in same plugin.

Use context path to provide the plugin path and also use absolute:"true" so that the URL starts from project name.

Example-

${resource(dir: 'assets/css', file: "datepicker.css", contextPath :"plugins/ui-plugin-0.1", absolute:"true" )}

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="${resource(dir: 'assets/css', file: "datepicker.css", contextPath :"plugins/ui-plugin-0.1", absolute:"true" )}"/>
