Package Grails App to war using maven

I have a grails app converted to maven project.

When I do mvn compile, I expect class files to be generated in target folder, but I get the below message.

--- maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile) @ sampleService --- [INFO] Nothing to compile - all classes are up to date

I have the following snippet in my pom.xml. Please help

<build>
  <sourceDirectory>grails-app</sourceDirectory>

Either you have Maven folder structure or if its grails-app give packing in pom.xml as below

<packaging>grails-app<packaging>

I've encountered this before while working with groovy and maven. The problem was detailed here

Basically, you have to add a src/main/java folder to your project in order for the plugin to suddenly find all your groovy files. Without knowing your folder structure I can't tell if this is the issue or not.

Hope that helps!
