Is there a plugin for Excel import for grails 2.2.0?

Question

Is there a plugin for Excel import for grails 2.2.0? I tried to use http://grails.org/plugin/excel-import, but it shows me the following error:

...\services\org\grails\plugins\excelimport\ExcelImportService.groovy: 4: unable to resolve class org. joda.time.LocalDate @ line 4, column 1. import org.joda.time.LocalDate ^ 1 error

Here is the part of BuildConfig.groovy

    repositories {

        ...

    mavenRepo "http://repo.grails.org/grails/libs-releases/"
    mavenRepo "http://m2repo.spockframework.org/ext/"
    }
    plugins {
      compile ":excel-import:1.0.0"
      ...
   }

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I added plugins.joda-time=1.3.1 to application.properties and it is working now, I have found the solution here http://jonpolaski.blogspot.com/2013/04/grails-2x-excel-import-via-file-upload.html

Make sure you added the extra dependency repositories:

mavenRepo "http://repo.grails.org/grails/libs-releases/"
mavenRepo "http://m2repo.spockframework.org/ext/"

to the maven repo section in BuildConfig. Seems like it can't find a dependency it needs (JodaTime in this case) Hope it helps.

just in case of someone need it. when i was in same trouble on grails 2.4.4 i use in my buildconfig: compile ":excel-import:2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT"

Answer 4

You can add the following to dependencies to get the jodatime:

compile "org.jadira.usertype:usertype.jodatime:1.9"

However that still leaves issues with the excel-import:1.0.0

That import uses deprecated classes and won't compile with grails 2.4

There is a version named excel-import:1.0.1 which you can find on Git. Does anyone know how to install that?
