After upgrading from version 1.5.1 to version 1.5.2, I had duplicate copies of a Bouncy Castle dependency in my .war file's lib dir, which caused the following error that prevented Tomcat from starting up

The duplicate Bouncy Castle dependencies were
bcprov-jdk15-1.45.jar
bcprov-jdk15on-1.51.jar
I ran grails dependency-report which indicated both of these are originating from the spring-security-rest plugin
In my case I can resolve this by excluding pac4j-cas because I don't need it, but others may not be so fortunate. In other words, I can workaround this issue by including the plugin like so in BuildConfig.groovy
