Grails: Error including platform-ui plugin in war file - grails

Question

I have created a new Grails 2.2 app that contains the platform-ui-1.0.RC5 plugin. Whenever I use the Grails “run-app” command to start the app in development mode, everything works OK. However, if I run “prod run-war” or war up the app and run it under Tomcat on a separate server, I get the following error:

Here is the “plugins” section of my BuildConfig.groovy file:
plugins {
runtime ":hibernate:$grailsVersion"
runtime ":jquery:1.10.2"
runtime ":resources:1.2"
// Uncomment these (or add new ones) to enable additional resources capabilities
//runtime ":zipped-resources:1.0"
//runtime ":cached-resources:1.0"
//runtime ":yui-minify-resources:0.1.4"
build ":tomcat:$grailsVersion"
runtime ":database-migration:1.2.1"
compile ':cache:1.0.1'
compile ":platform-ui:1.0.RC5"
}
I commented out the platform-ui plugin.
Refreshed the dependencies.
Ran the Grails clean command.
Ran the project using “prod run-war” and it ran correctly.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
David
