after upgrade to STS 2.5.2 unable to update application.properties / GRAILS

[zify]

I recently updated to STS 2.5.2 and I am no longer able to work within a GRAILS 1.3.6 project. When I try to install plugins I get a message stating unable to update application.properties. I even tried a fresh install with the same result. I've even tried with a new project on the fresh install and still get the same message when trying to install grails plugins.

Does anyone get this message after upgrading?

See details below.
Exception thrown when trying to update 'application.properties'
Resource is out of sync with the file system: '/myproject/application.properties'.

See below...on a new project called test the first time I try and install plugins I get the following stack trace.
Exception thrown when trying to update 'application.properties'
Command failed, see details for output.

Hi,

I've raised https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-1506 to track this. It appears there is a problem with the plugin manager if you install a plugin that pulls in another plugin. (the way multi-tenant-core pulls in falcone-util). You can install that via the prompt for now, or install falcone-util and multi-tenant-core both at the same time in the plugin manager.

There were changes in this area recently, so it is unfortunately a regression.

cheers
Andy.

thanks Andy for the quick response. I am glad to hear it is just not me and there is a workaround.
