Error in Grails STS 2.2.1

[bruparel]

I am doing the tutorial in Grails A Quick Start Guide by Dave Klein published by Pragmatic Programmers. Here is the domain Class:

class TekEvent {

String city
String name
String organizer
String venue
Date startDate
Date endDate
String description


String toString(){
"$name, $city"
}


static constraints = {
name()
city()
description(maxSize:5000)
organizer()
venue()
startDate()
endDate()
}

}

And here is the BootStrap class:

class BootStrap {

def init = { servletContext ->
def event1 = new TekEvent(name: 'Gateway Code Camp',
city: 'Saint Louis, MO',
organizer: 'John Doe',
venue: 'TBD',
startDate: new Date('9/19/2009'),
endDate: new Date('9/19/2009'),
description: '''This conference will bring coders from
across platforms, languages, and industries
together for an exciting day of tips, tricks,
and tech! Stay sharp! Stay at the top of your
game! But, don't stay home! Come an join us
this fall for the first annual Gateway Code
Camp.''')
if (!event1.save()){
event1.errors.allErrors.each{error ->
println "An error occured with event1: ${error}"
}
}

def event2 = new TekEvent(name: 'Perl Before Swine',
city: 'Austin, MN',
organizer: 'John Deere',
venue: 'SPAM Museum',
startDate: new Date('9/1/2009'),
endDate: new Date('9/1/2009'),
description: '''Join the Perl programmers of the Pork Producers
of America as we hone our skills and ham it up
a bit. You can show off your programming chops
while trying to win a year's supply of pork
chops in our programming challenge.

Austin, Minnesota. You'll know when you're
there!''')
if (!event2.save()){
event2.errors.allErrors.each{error ->
println "An error occured with event2: ${error}"
}
}
}

def destroy = {
}
}

This works fine from command line. However, the Bootstrap class has the following two errors in STS 2.2.1 environment:

Groovy:unable to resolve class TekEvent - Line 4
Groovy:unable to resolve class TekEvent - Line 23.

I do a run-app from within Eclipse. It warns me that errors exist should I run it? I say yes, it runs it and everything is fine. It seems like it cannot resolve the dependency somehow.

Try putting your domain classes in a package and add an import statement at the top of your bootstrap class, like this:

package foobar

class TekEvent {
	...
}

import foobar.*

class BootStrap {
	...
}

Eclipse has difficulties with classes in the default package

Thank you.

I can confirm this solution

For your convenience be aware, that there's no need to add the package structure manually. Just use the context menu and click Refactor ... Move... and add a package name then. That's all.
