Dependency Error with javax.validation-api

[Anthony Miller]

After upgrading to Grails 2.3.5, I've had an issue with the grails gwt plugin when running my application. I get an unresolved dependency for javax.validation-api.

I solved this by changing the plugin _GwtInternal.groovy file. I changed the addGwtCoreToDependencies() function to update the version of the validation-api that is added to the dependencies.

def addGwtCoreToDependencies(String version) {

  gwtResolvedDependencies.addAll(addProvidedDependency("com.google.gwt", "gwt-dev", version))

  gwtResolvedDependencies.addAll(addProvidedDependency("com.google.gwt", "gwt-user", version))

  addDependency("com.google.gwt", "gwt-servlet", version)

  if (version.startsWith("2.5")) {

    addDependency("com.google.gwt", "gwt-codeserver", version)

    addDependency("org.json", "json", "20090211")

  }

  addDependency("javax.validation", "validation-api", "1.1.0.Final")

  addDependency("javax.validation", "validation-api", "1.1.0.Final", "sources")

}

Is changing this to version 1.1.0 Final going to break anything else with the plugin? It seems to run just fine now as far as I can tell.

If anyone else is having this issue, you might want to make a change in the plugin itself.

Thanks
