Does the remote control plugin work with Grails 3?
https://grails.org/plugin/remote-control
I see references to fixes for grails 2.4 on the product page but nothing for 3.

It doesn't appear to be supported by Grails 3.x (yet). You can find all of the Grails 3 plugins over on bintray.
And in this case, this plugin uses a custom repository at http://dl.bintray.com/alkemist/maven/ which doesn't appear to have a Grails 3 compatible version.

I am working on a Grails 2.3 project, and they ask me have to do a study to see if it is possible to pass on the 3.x version of grails.
you can tell me what is it advantageous to switch to the version 3.x, and what's the best way for the update properly.
at the environment working I guess GGTS not supporting GRAILS 3.x, then it is mandatory to work with IntelliJ IDEA.
This section of official documentation covers the topic nicely
Upgrading from previous versions of Grails - Reference Documentation
http://docs.grails.org/latest/guide/upgrading.htmlv
You can also check the following presentation on the topic of the migration
Migrating from Grails 2 to Grails 3
http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/migrating-from-grails-2-to-grails-3
Yes, GGTS currently does not support Grails 3.x, so IDEA Ultimate edition is probably the best choice as described in STARTING WITH GRAILS3 – CHOOSING AN IDE.
I'm rather new to grails and I'm about to start a new grails project. I'm very confused with what version to go with based on the tools not being ready to support the newest version. I've read version 3 was a complete rewrite from ground up which my gut says should be the version to go with considering the project is brand new, but I'm discovering none of the tools are ready for version 3.
I was successfully able to get version 3 up with intellij with out grails support and the same goes for ggts.
With that being said, I don't know how to run the app in ggts since grails-runapp doesn't work
with ggts, I used the following tutorial https://tedvinke.wordpress.com/2015/04/10/grails-3-released-installing-gradle-and-groovy-2-4-support-in-eclipseggts/ but I've been able to figure out how to get the app to run. Does anybody know how to do this?
My questions are
How do I run a Grails 3 app in GGTS.
Is it recommended to use Grails 3 at this point or should I use Grails 2
If you use Grails 3, what is the recommended IDE?
With Intellij I had to run it by going to the grails-app/init project run main. Is this the correct way to do it?
As of Grails 3 you don't need a special IDE To run Grails 3 application. all you need to do is to right-click on the Application class and execute to start your Grails application. To read more about IDE integration https://grails.github.io/grails-doc/latest/guide/introduction.html
Currently, not all plugins are upgraded to Grails 3. So if your project depends on some plugins that are not already upgraded this will be an issue. For example spring security is not upgraded yet, but there is a work around to use it.https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/grails-dev-discuss/spring$20security/grails-dev-discuss/jOF0jw_BiCs/tOxd0NZpaxkJ
Finally, both Intellij community edition and GGTS supports Grails3. But if you want special grails features like GSP syntax highlighting use GGTS or IDEA Ultimate edition.
IntelliJ idea 15 is out. Try that. The support for Grails 3 is built in.
Choose Grails 3 instead of Grails 1/2 in project selection.
I have 6 projects running Grails 2 for over 1 year.
So far I have not encountered any need to upgrade them to Grails 3.
I use the latest edition of IntelliJ Ultimate 2016.2, and for the most part it works good with Grails 2. The debugger still throws a lot of EVAL errors, but I am able to evaluate my variables in real time.
The biggest problem I've encountered so far is plugins that are not compatible with Java 1.8. Some of the plugins still have to run in Java 1.7.
Lastly, I'd say if your project is still new, look into using NodeJs. It seems to be more popular than Grails at this point.
I think intellij is better for development in grails from my experience.
Grails 3 will be good choice for development. there are lot more features in there
https://dzone.com/articles/whats-new-grails-3
also document site will give you clear concept about it
http://docs.grails.org/latest/
Considering the fact that grails version 2 is different from grails version 3; it will be good if you start with version 3 and avoid the possibility of running into upgrade issues from 2.x to 3.x in the future
You can use Netbeans or Intelij. I use Netbeans.
Facing a lot of issues in Database migration in Grails 3.1.6. Not helping at all.
I think remaining a few days in version 2 will be beneficiary as long as version 3 stables.
Besides The GGTS support will be needed as Intellij IDEA 15 community edition does not support Grails. So better back to the old versions.
I'm trying with the 2.5.0 release of Grails but I have had problems of compatibility with some plugins I've tried (for example searchable)
Which version of Grails you recommend to start a new project? I'd like to start with the version more compatible with the list of current Grails plugins https://grails.org/plugins/
I'm not interested with the newer version but with the most compatible/stable with the current plugins list.
Both 2.4.x and 2.5.x will work fine with the current plugins in general.
Without any details it's hard to know why the searchable plugin isn't working for you, but note that it only works with Hibernate 3 and the default in new Grails apps is to use Hibernate 4. But you can see that the Hibernate 3 configuration settings are commented out in BuildConfig.groovy and DataSource.groovy so you can easily change back to Hibernate 3.
Having said that, don't use searchable. The underlying Compass library is no longer maintained, and using the searchable plugin will cause scaling problems because it's very inconvenient to get it to use a shared index between servers. The author of Compass created Elasticsearch, and that's a much better option. There's also an actively maintained plugin for it.
We are working on grails 1.3.7 project. renderpdf0.6 plugin individually working fine. but now, we have added jasper plugin to our project. the jasper related pdf generation is working fine but the renderpdf0.6 plugin is not working after adding the jasper plugin. the exception is
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont.getCharBBox(C)
we have been searching for this issue in google and other grails fourms. and some suggested that the core-renderer.jar may be effected by the differenent versions of iText.
Edit:
How to specify in grails, to force the core-renderer plugin to use the specific iText version ?
I think this might be a duplicated question. Have you tried the solution in Which version of iText to use so that both JasperReports and Grails Rendering plugin works
I am using this plugin http://www.grails.org/plugin/vaadin and the plugin supports only Vaadin version 6.5.1.
Is there any way how to upgrade Vaadin version to the latest one (e.g. 6.7.3)?
And maybe even more, is it anyhow possible to use Vaadin 7 (7.0.0-aplha...) together with Grails-Vaadin plugin? I know it is not stable release, but it would be great to start working with that version.
I think you could checkout the plugin's sources or download it as a zip-file, extract and then include it as inplace plugin into your project:
// Add in BuildConfig.groovy of your project.
grails.plugin.location.vaadin = '../path/to/vaadin'
After that you could do any manipulations to upgrading the plugin to required version of Vaadin.
I have upgraded Vaadin and Grails to the latest version. I have not found how to do it officially, so I have put it to my github profile, feel free to use it: https://github.com/ondrej-kvasnovsky/grails-vaadin-plugin/downloads
