RestoreState Plugin Released

After some posts (1, 2, 3) about remembering/restoring the state of list pages I decided to finally put this functionality in a tiny plugin.

The plugin provides convenient methods to controller classes for remembering state. With the default Grails scaffolding each time you navigate away from a list page (e.g. going to the show page) the state of the list is lost when you return. This can be annoying when you paged to a certain page within the list. A typical use case for this plugin is restoring the pagination state (like offset and sorting) of list pages

Have a look at the plugin page for more information.

Grails on NetBeans

Today NetBeans 6.5 was released. The Groovy and Grails support is really nice. I'm using it for a couple of months now since M1 and I'm really satified. If you haven't tried it and working on Grails projects you really should give NetBeans a go!

Can't wait though on better Groovy and Grails support in Eclipse. Let's see what SpringSource will bring us.

G2One - the Groovy/Grails company - acquired by SpringSource

Just want to mention I'm really amazed by the latest Groovy/Grails news that SpringSource has acquired G2One - the company (including the developers) behind Groovy/Grails. Congratulations guys!

Perhaps this was the last little push which was needed to get a full enterprise wide adoption of Groovy and Grails.

Also for the community good news. I guess there will be more money and resources available to further improve and enhance both technologies.
