Answer 1

I faced a similar issue (I am sure it is the exact issue) - Here are the steps to ensure it works correctly, I struggled with initially but this got it going.

1. Install JDK from http://www.java.com ,in a directory where there are NO SPACES in the path
2. Set JAVA_HOME to your JDK installation
3. Ensure %JAVA_HOME%\bin; is in your PATH variable.
4. On the command prompt run java -version, it should give you the path where JDK is installed
5. Install STS Springsource Tool suite.
6. Run your STS and create a new grails project and run it.

Let me know if that does not work.
