resolve plugin dependency for grails 2.1.2 on Mac

Question

For an older project running grails 2.1.2, I want to get the spring-security-core plugin RC-2 downloaded but it's not being resolved as yet.

Even if I create a new grails project on grails 2.1.2, I can't add this plugin either by defining build dependency or even by trying to install using command:

grails install-plugin spring-security-core

Figured out that my local plugins-list-grailsCentral.xml isn't being examined when checking for plugin. Not sure, why? From this xml, I downloaded the zip file then copied it in grails-install-dir/lib/org.grails.plugins/spring-security-core/jars (just because I saw that this path was being looked for by grails) and that dependency resolved.

I have now few other plugins not being resolved yet. How can I ask grails to look for this central grails plugin list? I already have following in BuildConfig.groovy.

repositories {
    inherits true // Whether to inherit repository definitions from plugins

    grailsCentral()
    grailsPlugins()
    grailsHome()


    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()

}

appreciate your assistance

Phew;

Issue resolved by using another mavenRepo http://repo.grails.org/grails/repo/

My BuildConfig.groovy repositories structure now looks like:

repositories {
    inherits true

    grailsCentral()
    grailsPlugins()
    grailsHome()

    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()

    mavenRepo 'http://repo.grails.org/grails/repo/'
}

Special thanks to Why do I receive grails module not found and unresolved dependency warnings? and grails-2.3.7 plugins/repository not found
