Groovy ecosystem
Among the devoxx 2008 university slides, you can find a Groovy/Grails presentation. This document contains interesting references:
- Griffon is a Grails like application framework for developing desktop applications in Groovy. You can begin with the quick start guide.
- Gradle is a build system like Ant, Maven or Ivy but trying to get the best from all. It supports multi-project build and dependency management. And you still can use you old Ant tasks.
- Easyb is Behavior Driven Development framework (BDD). It uses a specification based Domain Specific Language (DSL). The main idea is to keep really close to the business needs all along the development process. With this tool you’ll have a readable documentation AND a unit-testing all-in-one. You may start by reading first this tutorial.
- Compass is an open source project built on top of Lucene, to simplify the integration of search capabilities in your java applications .
And of course you can still refer to the Groovy and Grails websites.
