I have just discovered this repository, as it's grails-mode has entered MELPA. There is also
https://github.com/russel/Emacs-Groovy-Mode the groovy-mode of which is in MELPA, but the grails-mode of which was never picked up. Given E-Lisp activity in the Groovy/Grails community is strictly limited and it would be best to focus where the activity is, should this repository become the new focus of all Groovy Emacs activity?

Oh my goodness, this either got buried in the notifications section or I saw this and forgot to make a mental note of it because I was at work. It has been a crazy few months lately.

I'm sorry for the lack of communictiaon. I use your groovy mode and it is pretty great!

I realize that e-lisp activity is pretty limited for Groovy/Grails as well. I don't think this 'gradle' mode should be the focus of all activity. I like the functionality it brings, but it is still pretty sparse.

There is another grails mode that I have recently started to use, it hooks in with projectile-mode You can see it at emacs-grails-mode-ext. Unfortunately, it is not on MELPA though :(.

What if there was a single repository for these packages, like grails does with the grails community does with gpc here? something like groovymacs or some other better name. I wonder if the emacs grails mode project would be amenable to that? I could ask him.

Sorry again for the super late reply. 😑

Another late comment,

I concur with @russel that maybe another repository could become the main one.
Maybe just Groovy-Emacs-Modes ??

I created some time ago emacs-grails-mode-ext which became grails-projectile-mode, available on MELPA. Nowadays, I work only with pure Java, so improvements will likely come from pull requests.

I noticed recently emacs-grails which doesn't have any external dependencies.
@lifeisfoo, I believe that it's a duplicated effort on your end, what about the following:

  • Project abstraction from grails-projectile-mode (built-in, projectile, etc.) ?
  • Popup menus to avoid muscle memory? (discover, hydra, etc.)

On an other note, my previous issues with the official groovy-mode were weird indentation in regards to array declaration, multi-line statements, closures. Improvements in that regards would be great.
