Grails grows up!
Finally, the dynamic class reloading just work. Finally, Grails integrates smoothly with both your Gradle and Maven builds, as well as in your favorite IDE.
Grails 2.0 also provides some previously missing key features, to keep up with the Ruby on Rails competition: HTML5-based scaffolding, database migrations, support for NoSQL databases and one-click cloud deployment. And just as before, it still integrates seamlessly with all your existing JavaEE assets.
In this talk, Björn demonstrates some of the exiting features of Grails 2.0, and shows how Grails can be efficiently added to your existing JavaEE environment to really boost your productivity.
