IntelliJ IDEA 12.1.0 Web Help

8.0+

The following is available only in the Ultimate edition of IntelliJ IDEA

You can extend the functionality of your Grails application with the Grails plugins downloaded from the Grails repository. Once downloaded, the plugins reside under the plugins directory of your Grails application. Each plugin has the same directory structure as the entire Grails application. The source directories of the installed plugins are included in the source routes and are marked in the module tree view with the rootSource.gif icon.

For the sake of better communication with the Grails repository, IntelliJ IDEA provides the plugin manager that enables viewing, installing and uninstalling plugins.

Note

The first communication with the Grails repository from a Grails application can take time.

To open the Grails plugin manager, do one of the following
  • On the main menu choose Tools | Grails | Plugins.
  • On the context menu of the Project view, choose Grails | Plugins.
To view the available plugins
  • Open the Grails plugin manager, click the refresh button refresh.png if necessary, and view the list of plugins in the Grails plugins dialog box:

  2. In the Install/Uninstall Grails plugins dialog box, review the list of plugins. If necessary, select the plugin version. Click OK.
