Description

I've moved my domain to a plugin to share among multiple projects. It appears that some grails 2.0.x version broke support for installing .zipped plugins, including self-generated plugins. Any URL form (file or file:///) relative or absolute fails with a NPE:

ranka:DegreeMgmt jlittle$ grails install-plugin ../DegreeMgmtDomain/grails-degree-mgmt-domain-0.1.zip

Environment set to development.....

As a workaround, you can use BuildConfig.groovy to include your plugin.

Instructions:

1.) Under the plugin project, execute "grails maven-install". This will install the plugin into your local maven repository (i.e. ~/.m2/repository).

2.) Under your project, edit "grails-app/conf/BuildConfig.groovy" and uncomment the line "mavenLocal()". Then under the "plugins" section, add 'compile ":demo-plugin:0.1"' substituting "demo-plugin" for the name of your plugin and "0.1" for the version of your plugin.

3.) The plugin should now be available for use by your application, same as if you did a "grails install-plugin demo-plugin".

If you are using a custom group id, be sure to write:
'compile "my.group.id:demo-plugin:0.1"'

using
grails.plugin.location.<pluginName>=<path to local plugin>
in BuildConfig.groovy also does the trick - without a repo.
cheers, Werner

Is there a timeline as to when version 2.0.4 will be released and also included as a plugin for Springsource Tool Suite? We do not have a local Maven repository in the company and have relied on the install-plugin command to install internally developed plugins in our company. Additionally the Plugin Manager in STS is not working on version 2.9.1 as well. https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-2490

I have to package a version of STS with a version of Grails that will support installing plugins without the need for a corporate Maven repository. I need to distribute this package to a large number of workstations and cannot do it without the ability to install the plugins from a zip file.

Thanks
