I'm trying to use batik with grails to render some SVG stuff to PNG on the server.
I'm getting the following error in IntelliJ when I add the dependencies to BuildConfig and then tell IntelliJ to load the changes:

Grails clean gives a similar result.
BuildConfig.groovy contains among other things:
grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
// inherit Grails' default dependencies
inherits("global") {
excludes 'slf4j-log4j12', 'xml-apis', 'xalan', 'xml-apis-ext', 'commons-logging', 'commons-io'
}
log "warn" // log level of Ivy resolver, either 'error', 'warn', 'info', 'debug' or 'verbose'
checksums true // Whether to verify checksums on resolve
repositories {

grailsPlugins()
grailsHome()
grailsCentral()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile "org.jadira.usertype:usertype.jodatime:1.9"
compile "org.imgscalr:imgscalr-lib:4.0"
compile("org.apache.xmlgraphics:batik-svg-dom:1.7")

'bctsp-jdk16', 'bcmail-jdk14', 'bcprov-jdk14', 'bctsp-jdk14', 'xmlbeans'
}
}
The pom for batik-svg-dom includes some of the other batik jars as well as xml-apis and xml-apis-ext. My research has shown that the xml dependencies can cause trouble under grails and as they are not required beyond jdk 1.4 they have been excluded.
I've also tried to track down other org.xml.sax.Locator instances using IntelliJs tools but the only instance found is in: /Applications/Dev/grails-2.1.0/lib/org.apache.ant/ant-launcher/jars/ant-launcher-1.8.2.jar!/org/apache/tools/ant/launch/Locator.class
I've also tried grails refresh-dependencies and I've tried removing the .grails folder but I always get the same result.
Any ideas please?
