README

        

Prerequisites
-------------

* All your Grails versions must be installed under the same base directory. Ex:

/opt/grails-1.0.3
/opt/grails-1.1.1
/opt/grails-2.1.0.RC1

* `GRAILS_HOME` environment variable must be set and point to your "default" Grails installation
* cURL and unzip (If you want it to automatically pull missing versions)
* This script was tested on Mac OS X (Lion), but should work fine on Linux and Windows (with cygwin)

Installation
------------

* Download the script: http://github.com/deluan/grails.sh/raw/master/grails
* Include the folder where it is installed in your `PATH`.
* Exclude `$GRAILS_HOME/bin` from your `PATH`

Usage
-----

Using the script is as transparent as possible:

* If you invoke it from a project folder, it will detect the version used by the project and call the correct grails
* If the required version does not exist locally, the script will attempt to download the version specified from grails amazon mirror
* If you invoke it from any other folder that does not contain a Grails project, it will call the "default" Grails installation
* If you want to call a specific Grails version (i.e. when doing an upgrade) you can specify the version you want in the first parameter.
* If the version you specified does not exist locally, it will also attempt to download the version specified. Ex:

$ grails 2.2.3 upgrade

* It tries to determine the command to run based on its name, so you can create symlinks for it to use the `grails-debug` command, or use it with Griffon. It should also work with any other tool that uses the same installation structure than Grails (like Groovy, Gradle)
