Ok So after brainstorming (Lets call it in the most R-rated strong language usage brainstorming) I found that the BuildConfig file has got 

grails.project.target.level = 1.6
grails.project.source.level = 1.6

Changed that to 1.7 and the problem of not identifying the <> is gone. There are other problems but they are for some other day.
