Tooling the Groovy Ecosystem

The SpringSource Tool Suite makes developing your Groovy and Grails applications significantly easier with its support for debugging, refactoring, editing, and server diagnostics. In this session, we will showcase the Groovy and Grails tooling available in STS, focusing on the more recent advances such as configurable DSL support, Grails refactoring, debugging, and direct deployment to either tcServer or the Cloud Foundry PaaS. From a build point of view we'll take a quick look at the new Gradle support and an alternative to GMaven for building your maven based mixed Java/Groovy projects.
