Problem creating a war file with grails-1.1beta2

[ellis.j...@gmail.com]

I have a really simple project that is little more than the default
skeleton created by 'grails create-app'. I installed the autobase
plugin (0.8 version) and (with no migrations yet) tried to create a
war using 'grails war' which produced the following exception. Am I
missing something? I didn't see anything mentioned about this in the
docs. Thanks in advance.

You caught another 1.1beta2 bug. They apparently changed the createWar event...

I'll tackle this as soon as I get the bug Jesse mentioned taken care of.
