What is the correct way to uninstall spring-security-core plugin completely? I’m working on a Grails app that no longer needs a login and I’d like to remove it.

Even though I have uninstalled it via:

grails uninstall-plugin spring-security-core

Plugin [spring-security-core-1.1.3] is installed, but was not found in the application’s metadata, do you want to uninstall? [y,n]
My choice doesn’t seem to effect anything.

I keep getting message “Configuring Spring Security …” when starting application.

    uninstall-plugin should work, but you can do it manually. Edit application.properties and remove the line for the plugin, then delete the directory under $HOME/.grails/<grails version>/projects/<your project>/plugins. Then run grails clean to remove any old classes.

    In general this will work, as long as the plugin doesn’t do any work in its _Uninstall.groovy script, which is the case for Spring Security Core (it’s empty).
