New Java IDE features, including hierarchical view of nested projects, ability to customize perspectives and speed improvements for text search.Also the Grails dependency management, Grails command wizard and the rest aren’t functional anymore, since the Grails IDE plugin - which is the core component for all this - hasn’t been updated since Grails 3 came along.Įclipse Mars was released last June and is the latest & greatest Eclipse version, so it’s no wonder you’ll be wanting to use this one as soon as possible. Next to that, Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS) currently completely revolves around Grails 2 – all wizards to create taglibs, filters, controllers, services and domain classes don’t work anymore with Grails 3. However the latest GGTS to be downloaded from is groovy-grails-tool-suite-3.6.4.RELEASE-e4.4.2-win32-x86_64.zip which is based on Eclipse Luna SR1 (4.4.2) - not Eclipse Mars. Yes, the Getting Set Up in an IDE documentation of the currently latest version 3.1.0 M2 refers to Groovy/Grails Tool Suite as the recommended IDE for Eclipse users. The Eclipse landscape for Grails 3 development is a bit shady.

What if you want to develop Grails 3 projects with Eclipse Mars (4.5) as easy as you did with Groovy/Grails Tool Suite or previous Eclipse versions? Written and tested with Eclipse Mars.1 Release (4.5.1, build 20150924-1200) and Grails 3.1.0 M1.
