Hi Communities,

  I'm pleased to announce the availability of the first release of the
grails-maven-plugin.
  I hope this plugin will ease the development of Grails applications
with maven.

  Major features are actually :
  - POM creation from an existing Grails project.
  - A grails-app packaging defining
    - a customized default lifecycle with the following services :
          - runs grails unit-tests and integration-tests in test phase
          - runs grails web-tests in integration-test phase
          - copies projects dependencies of type jar which have not a
provided scope in the lib directory.
          - creates a WAR archive using grails which can be installed
and deployed by maven.
    - a customized clean lifecycle which call the clean target of
grails and delete the libraries found in the lib directory (populated
in the package phase of the default lifecycle)

  This version of the plugin is tested only with grails 0.5.6.
  I also encountered some issues with Grails and Maven which are
listed in the FAQ :

  Thanks for those who helped me to start this project : Guillaume
Laforge, Graeme Rocher, Dave Syer, and all of those in the maven team
who helped me to create my first maven 2 plugin from scratch.

  Have Fun with Grails and Maven.

  Cheers,
