I’m currently seeing the warnings below when trying to run my Google App Engine/Grails test app in Eclipse.

  1. Warning, target causing name overwriting of name startLogging
  2. Warning: C:\Users\Some Person.grails\1.2.0\projects\test-grails\plugins\app-engine-0.8.8\grails-app\conf\spring not found.
  3. Warning: C:\Users\Some Person.grails\1.2.0\projects\test-grails\plugins\app-engine-0.8.8\grails-app\conf not found.
  4. Warning: C:\Users\Some Person.grails\1.2.0\projects\test-grails\plugins\app-engine-0.8.8\grails-app\conf\hibernate not found.

Here is the output from the console:

I get this error after creating a Grails project with Spring Tools Suite (STS) and then installing the app-engine plugin “grails install-plugin app-engine”. Before, I install the app-engine plugin the Grails project runs correctly.

Any ideas how to resolve these warnings?

    Warning 1 is caused by an issue in Grails’ scripts. I had a look in JIRA but couldn’t see a bug report relating to it. I do not think it causes any side effects.

    Warnings 2,3 and 4 are referring to folders inside the app-engine plugin.
    Even though they are annoying they will not be doing any harm.
    The best thing you could do is raise a JIRA against the app-engine plugin requesting the author to add those folders to stop the warnings.
