Effective Grails Plugin Development

This has really upset me so far. Here is what I am trying to do:

  • IDE I use Intellij IDEA.
  • Creating a grails application.
  • The Grails application defines two dependencies on home grails plugins, which are also developed in IntelliJ as separate grails plugin projects.

Now, to make any changes to the plugins, I update the source code in the plugin projects and use mavan-install (the Maven Publisher plugin) to deploy to the local Maven repository. I need to remove the plugin in a core grails project. Remove the plugin’s cache from ivy, and then run the core grails project, which gets the latest copy of the plugin from the local maven repository.

What is an effective and ideal way to achieve this? The only change forces me to do about 5 minutes of work, even to check and launch the main application.

Any recommendations / recommendations?

Use the built-in plugins for this - see the "Specifying Plugin Locations" section at http://grails.org/doc/latest/guide/12.%20Plug-ins.html#12.1%20Creating%20and%20Installing%20Plug-ins

By specifying the grails.plugin.location.<plugin-name> project directory as the installation location for the plugin, you can edit the real files, and the changes will affect the test application, and there is no need to synchronize anything.
