Description

Add CheckPluginVersions.groovy script from http://gist.github.com/130031 to Grails . Introduced in this blog article http://adhockery.blogspot.com/2009/06/checking-for-plugin-updates.html .

If you're anything like me you probably like to keep all your Grails plugins updated to the latest versions. It's quite easy to miss a release announcement and not realise there's a new version available. Although grails list-plugins will list out the available versions and what version you currently have installed it doesn't really highlight the plugins you could upgrade. I threw this script together this morning to do exactly that. It will simply check the plugin versions you have installed against all configured repositories and notify you of any that could be updated.

I'll add this in. Currently I'm seeing some problems resolving plugins with the script in 1.2-SNAPSHOT. Maybe something has changed with the new dependency resolution mechanism.

I've added this script as ListPluginUpdates.groovy, so just use 'grails list-plugin-updates' to use it.

Unfortunately the script fails if you have not yet installed plugins (e.g. after rm -fr ~/.grails). I probably just need to add a 'depends' to the task.

Fixed by depending on 'resolveDependencies' instead of 'updatePluginsList'
