STS - Can't Find Grails Library - grails

Question

I am porting over Grails project to STS and I don't know much about the project nor about STS, so I am a little lost. Also of note is that the project was previously in Grails 1.0.3 and I am upgrading it to 1.3.7.
After loading in the existing code, I configured my project to use Grails 1.3.7. When I attempt to build the project I get a bunch of errors relating to what appears to be just basic grails code that should come with 1.3.7:
e.g. Groovy:unable to resolve class org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.ConfigurationHolder
Also, when I open STS I am asked to run an "upgrade" for grails, which fails with the following:
Command terminated with an error code (see details for output)

In my Java Build Path I have a 'Grails Dependencies' folder, but I don't know how to change it to make sure it is pointing to the right dependencies. There is also 'Groovy Libraries' and a bunch of random '.jar' dependencies.
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

It looks like it wasn't finding it because required dependencies to plugins were not resolving correctly. Once I got the plugins it worked correctly.
