Dependency issues with jedis and cache-redis plugin

[raffian]

We've been using cache-redis plugin with spring cache annotations on Grails 2.3.7, but want to upgrade to this plugin, but can't due to dependency issues, wanted to reach out before we dumped our legacy code and started fresh. Due to code dependencies, we can't remove cache-redis without breaking a LOT of code, so we want to leverage redis plugin incrementally until later when we can drop cache-redis entirely.

Current BuildConfig:

   dependencies {
      runtime 'net.sf.ehcache:ehcache-core:2.4.6'
   }
   plugins {
      compile ":cache-redis:1.0.0"
   }

BuildConfig with redis:1.5.5,

   dependencies {
      runtime 'net.sf.ehcache:ehcache-core:2.4.6'
   }
   plugins {
      compile ":cache-redis:1.0.0"
      runtime ":redis:1.5.5"
   }

But this causes error when refreshing/compiling dependencies,

| Environment set to development.....
| Error Fatal error during compilation org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
C:\PROJECTS\WorkspaceSTS2\kennis-cache-plugin-AUG2014\target\work\plugins\redis-1.5.5\.\RedisGrailsPlugin.groovy: 20: unable to resolve class redis.clients.jedis.JedisSentinelPool
 @ line 20, column 1.
   import redis.clients.jedis.JedisSentinelPool

Since redis plugin uses a newer version of jedis, 2.4.2, we excluding jedis from cache-redis,

   dependencies {
      runtime 'net.sf.ehcache:ehcache-core:2.4.6'
   }
   plugins {
      compile (":cache-redis:1.0.0"){
           excludes "jedis"
      }
      runtime ":redis:1.5.5"
   }

We managed to eliminate the compilation error, but on startup, we're getting the following error:

Caused by NoSuchMethodError: redis.clients.jedis.JedisPool.<init>(Lorg/apache/commons/pool/impl/GenericObjectPool$Config;Ljava/lang/String;IILjava/lang/String;)V
->> 303 | innerRun in java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync

^   662 | run . .  in java.lang.Thread

No surprise, really, since we configure connections in cache-redis, so we're stuck.

Is it possible to make cache-redis:1.0.0 and redis:1.5.5 play nice together on 2.3.7, or are we wasting our time?

We dumped cache-redis:1.0.0 in favor of redis:1.5.5, working well.
