Problem downloading plugins (joda-time specifically)

[GordonRehling]

Still a relative newbie, so apologies if this is dumb...

I'm trying to use joda-time plugin within STS 2.9.0.M2 / Grails 2.0.0.

Once I setup JAVA_OPTS to use the corporate proxy, I managed to get the basic joda-time 1.3.1 POM to download by setting up the compile statement in BuildConfig.groovy

I then added the usertype lines so that I could use LocalDate, but the editor reports an error.

import org.joda.time.*
import org.jadira.usertype.dateandtime.joda.*

class Interaction {
	
	LocalDate	when

I setup another compile statement for the usertypes

repositories {
        inherits true // Whether to inherit repository definitions from plugins
        grailsPlugins()
        grailsHome()
        grailsCentral()
        mavenCentral()

        // uncomment these to enable remote dependency resolution from public Maven repositories
        //mavenCentral()
        //mavenLocal()
		// GMR mavenRepo "http://repo1.maven.org"
        //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 {
		
        runtime ":hibernate:$grailsVersion"
        runtime ":jquery:1.7.1"
        runtime ":resources:1.1.5"
		
        build ":tomcat:$grailsVersion"
		
		compile "org.jadira.usertype:usertype.jodatime:1.9"
		compile ":joda-time:1.3.1"
    }

and hoped that a "refresh dependencies" would sort things out, but this kicks off a search for zip files (whereas I'm guessing that the repositories have POMs.

| Error Failed to resolve dependencies (Set log level to 'warn' in BuildConfig.groovy for more information):

- org.jadira.usertype:usertype.jodatime:1.9

1) Why is it looking for .zip instead of POM?

2) what spell do I need to cast to make this work?
