Answer 1

If you are able to modify the project itself, you can change the app.grails.version property within the application.properties file.

It should be app.grails.version=2.2.4 , set it accordingly.

You may run into issues with the newer version of grails (beyond the scope of this question), follow this link to help resolve them: http://grails.github.io/grails-doc/2.5.x/guide/upgradingFrom22.html

Answer 2

Not clear from your question, but do you want to RUN the 2.2.4 grails project on your machine, or UPGRADE the 2.2.4 project to 2.5.1?

If simply running the 2.2.4 project, I'd load gvm (now SDKMAN, google it) as the tool of choice for installing and switching grails versions, groovy versions, etc.

The *nix version works great, but I have no experience with the Powershell CLI version for Windows.
