Grails 3 Eclipse支持

Question

i want to know if there any Eclipse IDE versions support Grails 3.3.2 , as i'm currently using Luna and tried to use this Grails version but i faced the below error, also tried Grails tool suite and got the same error. I tried it using intellij and worked fine without any exceptions

------System.err:-----------
Error: Could not find or load main class org.codehaus.groovy.grails.cli.support.GrailsStarter

many are saying that eclipse doesn't supports Grails 3 is that right ? and how to work with Grails 3 on eclipse ?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as Grails from the POV of IDE anymore. There is a Gradle project with a bunch of dependencies. That means that things like GGTS are not needed (and therefore not supported).

For my Grails projects I use Eclipse Oxygen with Buildship (gradle support) and Groovy feature plugins.

The only 2 things that I'm missing in my current setup is no autocomplete for dynamic finders and GSP. The rest works just fine.
