Grails - java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: _PluginDependencies_groovy $ _run_closure1

Question

I just configure Grails on my computer and follow the link http://grails.org/doc/latest/guide/gettingStarted.html#creatingAnApplication

The command below gives me an error. Please help.

I know this is quite old for Linux, but this question was the first result when googling "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: _GrailsInit_groovy $ _run_closure1_closure6".

On Linux, I fixed this with source ~/.bashrc This is the file in which you declare JAVA_HOME and GRAILS_HOME.

You may need to restart Windows for these variables to take effect.
