This is a problem with one of your dependencies. Run

grails dependency-report

and then open the file 'target/dependency-report/org.grails.internal-<something>-compile.html', where the <something> comes from the application name. The report has 4 tabs, so search on each of them for 'xml-apis' or 'xmlParser'. Once you have identified which dependency is including this XML library, exclude it.

Let me know if you need any more info.
