Grails Plugins: A Free Library of Functionality
One of the best features of the Grails platform is that its modular architecture makes developing plugins very easy. As a result, hundreds of plugins have already been developed and made available in the standard repository, with the number growing almost daily.
If you need to add functionality to your Grails application, look for an existing plugin first. This talk will survey a wide range of available plug-ins, including those for security, testing, building maps and charts, sending email, deploying to the cloud, and as many more as time allows.
