Spring Bootstrap Groovy
Spring Bootstrap Groovy gives you the quickest possible getting started experience with Spring apps, whether you are writing a web app, a batch job or a standalone java app.
Building and Testing
To avoid problems with classpaths and existing JVM-based build tools,
Spring Bootstrap Groovy uses an exec plugin call to launch groovyc.
You need to have a sh on your path along with groovyc (2.1.x),
find and xargs. These tools are standard on a Mac or Linux
distribution, and available using Cygwin on Windows. Once it is
built, the zip file is portable.
Here are the steps to build and test:
$ mvn install
The spring executable is then available at
spring-bootstrap-groovy/target/spring-<VERSION>. There is also a jar
file with the Groovy Bootstrap components. The spring executable
includes jars from SPRING_HOME in the classpath so you can run it
while you are developing like this
$ export SPRING_HOME=<spring-bootstrap-groovy>/target
$ <spring-bootstrap-groovy>/src/main/scripts/spring App.groovy
