Hello Grails

NetBeans 6.5 was released a few days ago and it now supports Grails Applications.

I’m starting to work with Grails and I hope I’ll write soon more about this…

Installing Grails

Unlike with Rails, the NetBeans Groovy plugin does not come bundled with Groovy and the Grails framework – these must be pre-installed on your system (don’t worry, it’s easy):

1. Download and install Groovy
2. Download and install Grails
3. Download and install NetBeans 6.5.
4. Open the NetBeans Tools->Options->Miscellaneous dialog and select the Groovy category. Set the Grails home directory.
5. You’re done!

First Grails Application

For developing your first application (under 5 minutes!) go to the Quick Start at Grails.
