Grails reverse engineering plugin no longer works

[raydawg2000]

With the latest versions of Grails/GORM the dbReverseEngineer plugin no longer works.  I have used this plugin many times in the past without issue, but after upgrading to 3.2.8 it fails to run.  There have been users posting on the issues forum on Github but there seems to be no activity so I am not sure if that project is dead or not.  Do you know if there are any plans for updates to that project?

I tried creating a new project and running the sample from the plugin Tutorial docs and it still fails with Grails 3.2.8.

:compileJava NO-SOURCE
:compileGroovy UP-TO-DATE
:buildProperties UP-TO-DATE
:processResources
:classes
:findMainClass
:dbReverseEngineer
Starting database reverse engineering, connecting to 'jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/reveng' as 'reveng' ...

:dbReverseEngineer FAILED

It would be great to get this plugin back up and running as its extremely helpful and saves time.

Please let me know if you need anymore information.

Thanks

Nearly a year later and I am faced with the same error. Did anything come of this? Thanks! Would love to use this plugin.

The link to the github issue has a workaround at the end that worked for me.  Though going forward who knows how long this will continue to work.  It's a shame that what appears to be an official Grails plugin just completely stopped getting support for such a long time now.  I have a feeling this is just dead.
