Why I get ClassNotFoundException when I add plugin to Grails?

I used Grails 2.5.6(set by sdkman) with Java 8. When I add some plugins to dependencies, for example 'org.grails.plugins:quartz:2.0.12' or 'org.grails.plugins:grails-java8:1.2.2' I get error during starting Grails app.

Stacktrace I get:

You're trying to use Grails 3+ plugins with Grails 2.x but they're not compatible. Use plugin information from https://grails.org/plugins/ and be sure to add the dependency info in the plugins block in BuildConfig.groovy, not in the dependencies block since that's for jar dependencies (Grails 2 plugins are packaged as .zip files)

It looks like the latest version of the Quartz plugin for Grails 2 is v1.0.2, so you'd add that as

plugins {
    ...
    compile ':quartz:1.0.2'
}

There's no Java 8 plugin for Grails 2.
