One of my favorite Grails plugins: The build-test-data plugin, is now available for Grails 3. Thanks to Ted Naileid for creating it, and Aaron Long for upgrading!
Sdkman has really taken of this week, and is no longer just a Groovy enVironment Manager! New candidates on Sdkman are: Scala, SBT, Maven and Ceylon! You might need to run 'sdk selfupdate force' and/or flush the candidates.
Will Buck is the latest announced developper that will join the Grails team at OCI. They are really loading up on talent at the home of Grails!
