This Week in Grails (2012-32)

Posted by: Burt Beckwith on 08/13/2012

I got a preview of a very cool new tool at GR8Conf US for running Grails commands in a GUI from a freakishly tall attendee (aka “Tall Dave”). It’s a Griffon app that runs Grails commands in a UI. Check out Dave’s blog post where he describes installing and using the tool and the motivation behind it. The source should be available soon but for now download and run the jar file, and be sure to report feature requests to Dave.

I released some plugin updates this week. The standalone plugin now works with either Tomcat or Jetty. It works with Tomcat by default, but if you pass the --jetty flag to the build-standalone script it will embed Jetty instead. And the cloud-foundry plugin now supports Caldecott tunnels. This feature lets you connect to a remote service (e.g. MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, etc.) and do queries with local clients.

If you want to keep up with these “This Week in Grails” posts you can access them directly via their category link or in an RSS reader with the feed for just these posts.
