I've tried to use maven plugin 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT for running Grails 2.0 project. After resolving some issues with plugin itself I've run application with mvn grails:run-app command and see that errors:
....

Looks like old Spring jars on classpath. But in maven deps there is no spring deps with version not 3.1.RELEASE.
In the same time mvn grails:run-war works fine. But how to effectively developing without run-app ?
