I’ve just been lead astray by a little problem with my Eclipse setup, while working on a Grails project. It’s documented that when working on a Grails project and using the Groovy Eclipse plugin, you must turn off ‘Enable Groovy Compiler Generating Classes’ otherwise it will interfere with your Grails project.
While working on a Groovy project I had re-enabled this, and after switching back to my Grails project, I would get this exception when running grails run-app :
Server failed to start:
org.mortbay.util.MultiException
[org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerInvocationException:
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException:
No signature of method:
Note.save() is applicable for argument types: () values: {}]
(Note.groovy is my domain class)
When I noticed a bunch of Eclipse generated content in the root of my project I quickly remembered this issue.
Since the setting in question is a workspace setting, I think the best solution for me would be to have separate workspaces for Groovy and Grails projects.

No need for two worspaces at all. Just direct all your Eclipse plugin generated .class files to bin-groovy (you can enable this on the same page where you disabled the .classs generation).
Thank you Paul – I’d tried cleaning, but of course cleaning didn’t get rid of the pesky eclipse genrrated files. ‘deleted them from project root and all is well again!
Thanks a lot paul. It really helped me.
Cheers
