Another week has passed, this time with lots of blog posts from MrHaki, a few new releases, and lots of other stuff.
Support for Grails 3 is now underway in IntelliJ. You can even suggest features that you would find necessary. ? Daniil Ovchinnikov from Jetbrains has commented on the issue: "I've implemented basic code completion (and navigation), ability to run/debug applications, ability to run grails commands, editor buttons (navigation between controllers/domains/etc) and Grails tool window, but I haven't pushed it to EAP yet because it's under testing. While I'm preparing above list to be released, please let me know what else features of Grails 3 to you want/expect to be supported?"
