This Week in Grails (2012-45)

Wednesday, November 14th, 2012

The Grails48 hackathon was this weekend. Sounds like people got a lot done – I’m looking forward to seeing the various applications that were created and of course to see who wins the various prizes 🙂

The 2012 Groovy & Grails Exchange is coming up soon – it’s only a month away. Be sure to get your tickets now before the price goes up again. And the 2013 Greach conference is not long after that. I’ll be speaking at both and I’m looking forward to the conferences, especially Greach since I haven’t been to Spain before.

I started working on a Grails plugin that provides a UI for P6Spy a long time ago, but didn’t finish it. It was based on the sqlprofiler Swing application that connects to your application with an RMI appender. I’m not sure what triggered me to look at it again but I picked it back up this weekend and got it working. See the plugin page for more information; the source is on Github so feel free to send pull requests with updates (especially CSS and UI-related fixes since I’m not great at developing user interfaces).
