grails-user - IDE

This is a religious discussion I know but I want to ask. I have been using
NetBeans, though not a lot with Grails, and I am thinking about starting my
new project in Eclipse instead. Before I do this though I would like to know
what the real differences between the two are, which is better, and why.

Please don't turn this into "IDE X sucks", those kinds of responses do
nothing except start flame wars.

I dont use Netbeans but for what I know about Grails / Groovy support:

IntelliJ is best
Netbeans is second
Eclipse is last

I use Eclipse myself, and I can say that the Groovy support is very poor.
Grails support is non existant basically.

They are both incredible tools for the price. With that said, I tend not to
use Eclipse too much as I can never get it's plugins to work correctly as
they tend to stomp all over each other.

For serious Grails/Groovy development, you might want to consider shelling
out for Intellij IDEA.

I am using NB 6.7RC3 right now.  Has some good grails support.  However,
the only thing that I am disappointed in is the gsp editing support.

If you're on a Mac, you may want to try TexMate as well.  It's not a =20
full fledged IDE and lacks some of the nice features of NetBeans and =20
Eclipse (i.e. no debugging), but it doesn't require large amounts of =20
RAM to run.

If you want the best free alternative use NetBeans.  Otherwise the =20
latest IDEA IntelliJ looks good (version 8.1.3).

I tried eclipse, netbeans, intellij and none of them has made it too well :(

Bests combos for me were gedit (with some plugins i don't remember, but 
google is your friend :P) and vim.

vim (gvim actually) + nerdtree + fuzzyfinder + snippetsemu + xmledit + 
nice font (consolas) + nice colorscheme (warm-grey) + console = 
productive environment

the nice thing of developing in grails is that you actually can develop 
very well without debugging, but with a lot of testing :).

for a really productive environment I would recommend you a powerfull 
console environment, a productive (at your fingers) editor and a lot of 
scripts (this blog http://naleid.com/blog has a lot of useful scripts :=) )

i really like intellyJ8 for grails development and if you have a
registered opensource project you can get a license for free.

The current eclipse plugin is sadly unusable.

Is a grails plugin considered as an opensource project ? Do some of you
(plugin developpers) get a free license this way ? ('cause 300 euros is
still expensive ...)

If you use Linux, you can try gedit.

to be approved

it has to be:

- a compatible opensource license like LGPL
- public available (sourceforge, etc)
- mature
- used

I releases my project a year ago and it qualified without problems,
but it's a bigger project (200k lines+)

glad to see there is some love for gedit out there. i recently started usin=
g
snippets plugin in gedit, definitely a productivity boost there. I am
working on making custom snippets for groovy and grails that will be
available in the gedit-grails-bundle on github.

also I have heard rumors that there is now a windows port of gedit.

e-texteditor might be another option to look into if you are on windows,
very similar to text-mate from what I hear.

I too use a combination of gEdit and IntelliJ, but I don't have the sort
of money to blow on an intelliJ license. When my demo expires, I'm back
to gEdit.
