I've updated my application to Grails 2.3 and I’m now having an extremely frustrating issue getting the app up and running. I was hoping someone could offer some assistance. We have a dependency on doc4j and every time I go to run the app I get a "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:org.docx4j.openpackaging.packages.WordprocessingMLPackage".
After doing some research I found that this issue could be related to not having all of the dependencies for docx4j in my classpath, yet I've gone through and verified that all of the dependencies listed here-- http://dev.plutext.org/docx4j/docx4j-2.5.0/ --are in "Grails Dependencies" under:
Properties->JavaBuildPath->Libraries.
The package that is causing the trouble is also there under:
Grails Dependencies->Docx4j-2.5.0.jar->org.docx4j.openpackaging.packages-> WordprocessingMLPackage.class
Here is my stack trace:

If you could please offer me any assistance, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
-----EDIT-----
I'm adding my BuildConfig.groovy in case that will provide any extra information:
/moving plugins dir to plugins directory under main project folder
grails.project.plugins.dir = 'plugins'
grails.project.class.dir = "target/classes"
grails.project.test.class.dir = "target/test-classes"
grails.project.test.reports.dir = "target/test-reports"
//grails.project.war.file = "target/${appName}-${appVersion}.war"
grails.project.dependency.resolver = "maven"
grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
// inherit Grails' default dependencies
inherits("global") {
// uncomment to disable ehcache
// excludes 'ehcache'
}
log "warn"
repositories {
grailsPlugins()
grailsHome()
grailsCentral()
// uncomment these to enable remote dependency resolution
// from public Maven repositories
mavenCentral()
mavenLocal()
//mavenRepo "http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org"
//mavenRepo "http://repository.codehaus.org"
//mavenRepo "http://download.java.net/maven/2/"
//mavenRepo "http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/"
}
dependencies {
// specify dependencies here under either 'build', 'compile',
// 'runtime', 'test' or 'provided' scopes eg.
// runtime 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.16'
}
plugins {
//----- for versions before 2.3 -----//
//compile ":hibernate:$grailsVersion"
//build ":tomcat:$grailsVersion"
// for versions after 2.3
//compile':hibernate:3.6.10.M3'
// moved from application.properties
compile ":cookie:0.4"
compile ":dojo:1.7.2.0"
compile ":help-balloons:1.4"
compile ":jsecurity:0.4.1"
compile ":p6spy:0.5"
compile ":searchable:0.6.4"

}
}
