I know this is quite old and for Linux, but this question was the 1st result when googling "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: _GrailsInit_groovy$_run_closure1_closure6".

On Linux, I fixed this with source ~/.bashrc This is the file where you declare JAVA_HOME and GRAILS_HOME.

Maybe you need to reboot Windows in order to for these variables to take effect.
