A required class was missing while executing org.codehaus.gmaven:gmaven-plugin:1.3:testCompile: groovy/lang/Closure

I'm trying to mvn clean install a maven project that has landed on my plate, however I'm getting an exception which I believe may be due to a version conflict of Groovy, this is what I get :

Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.gmaven:gmaven-plugin:1.3:testCompile (default) on project maven-myproject-plugin: Execution default of goal org.codehaus.gmaven:gmaven-plugin:1.3:testCompile failed: A required class was missing while executing org.codehaus.gmaven:gmaven-plugin:1.3:testCompile: groovy/lang/Closure

These are the relevant plugins I'm using :

            </dependencies>
        </plugin>

I've tried updating the versions of groovy-all and the gmaven-plugin , and I've also tried setting the providerSelection as suggested in a previous SO question

This is my Java/Maven version :

mvn -version
Apache Maven 3.0.4 (r1232337; 2012-01-17 08:44:56+0000)
Maven home: /Users/JElsey/Development/tools/apache-maven-3.0.4
Java version: 1.6.0_32, vendor: Apple Inc.
Java home: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_32-b05-420.jdk/Contents/Home
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: MacRoman
OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.7.4", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"

Any pointers on what could be causing this?

EDIT 1:

I've tried downgrading maven to 2.2.1, and have repointed the symbolic link to ensure it doesn't attempt to use the pre-packaged 3.0.4 that Apple like to ship with as explained here.

I still can't get past this, I have no idea...

I haven't seen the exact error you have, but I've found Groovy 1.8.7, gmaven-plugin 1.4, and gmaven-runtime-1.8 to be a successful combination. Note that I had to include jansi as a workaround for this bug in mvn groovy:shell.

Add Groovy 1.8.7 to your dependencies:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
    <artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
    <version>1.8.7</version>
</dependency>

Then add the plugin configuration:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.gmaven</groupId>
            <artifactId>gmaven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.4</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>generateStubs</goal>
                        <goal>compile</goal>
                        <goal>generateTestStubs</goal>
                        <goal>testCompile</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
            <configuration>
                <providerSelection>1.8</providerSelection>
            </configuration>
            <dependencies>
                <dependency>

Also try this one for newer versions of Groovy and others:
