Grails Access Config.groovy settings in BuildConfig.groovy

Include the following lines in 'BuildConfig.groovy' file

def directory = new File(getClass().protectionDomain.codeSource.location.path).parent;
def config = new ConfigSlurper(grailsSettings.grailsEnv).parse(new File(directory + File.separator + "Config.groovy").toURI().toURL())
println "| Tomcat Version (API): " + config.grails.tomcat.version;

Include the following lines in 'Config.groovy'

grails.tomcat.version = "2.2.4"

Then when run the program it prints like:

| Tomcat Version (API): 2.2.4

Then you can use this settings in your 'BuildConfig.groovy' files like this (highlighted yellow):

plugins {
    runtime ":hibernate:2.2.4"
    runtime ":jquery:1.8.3"
    runtime ":resources:1.2"

    // Uncomment these (or add new ones) to enable additional resources capabilities
    //runtime ":zipped-resources:1.0"
    //runtime ":cached-resources:1.0"
    //runtime ":yui-minify-resources:0.1.5"

    build ":tomcat:"+config.grails.tomcat.version

    runtime ":database-migration:1.3.2"

    compile ':cache:1.0.1'
}
