Building Blocks

More issues with Grails. The environment seemed to be working, but once I start compiling and generating all the files. I ran into more issues. When running the grails war to generate a war to deploy to Mor.ph I go the following error. This error also occurs for the generate-all command.

Error executing script War: : Error starting Sun's native2ascii:
gant.TargetExecutionException: : Error starting Sun's native2ascii:

To fixing it I found this mailing list response. The problem was that my JAVA_HOME environment variable pointed to the JRE and not to the JDK. Changing it to point to the JDK fixed the problem. Below is the entire printout of the error.
