I just cloned a Grails project to my local machine (using Mercurial). I am using GGTS for Grails projects, and would like to import the Grails project as an existing project. With a Gradle-built project, I would just apply the Gradle Eclipse plugin and then run gradle eclipse inside the project root.
This generates Eclipse project files and classpath magic for me, so I can import it into my Eclipse workspace.
I'm using GGTS for my Grails projects. But when I open up GGTS and go to Import >> Existing project, and select my Grails project (root dir), it doesn't see the necessary Eclipse project files and can't open it up.
So I ask: is there an equivalent "Grails Eclipse/GGTS" plugin that will allow me to take a Grails project that has no Eclipse files (.project, etc.) and generate them?
The command you are looking for is the Grails command integrate-with. You can read more about it in the Grails documentation.
The integrate-with command will integrate Grails with different IDEs and build systems based on the arguments provided. For example the --eclipse command will produce .project and .classpath files for use with Eclipse or Spring Tool Suite (STS).
