This Week in Grails (2012-33)

Spring Tool Suite and the new Groovy/Grails Tool Suite were released this week. These are the new variants of SpringSource Tool Suite; the Groovy/Grails Tool Suite comes preconfigured with the Groovy-Eclipe plugin and Grails support preinstalled. In addition everything has been open-sourced and hosted at GitHub. See the information page at grails.org for more information and a download link.

Joe Rinehart and the guys at compiledammit.com are blogging like crazy about Grails. They’re Cold Fusion developers who are now having fun with Grails and are cranking out posts of interest to Cold Fusion developers but also experienced Grails developers. Check out Why Grails/Groovy? and Grails for CFML Developers for the motivations behind the change in direction, and of course all of the other posts.

Marc Palmer and Stéphane Maldini have released new versions of the platform-core plugin; check out the M3 announcement and the M6 announcement, and the M3 blog post and the M6 blog post. Also see the related posts Better i18n using the p:text tag from Grails Platform-Core and Safer access to request attributes in Grails plugins with Platform-Core.
