grails

After running continuous integration with continuum for a long while (which works great for maven projects) I decided to take a look at Hudson. It can also do maven - but seems to have a larger range of plugins available. Of interest to me was grails.

Installation

This was extremely simple - I just grabbed the hudson.war file from the hudson site and deployed it in a running glassfish.

LDAP configuration

Just updated the grails based pastebin.

I got fed up (read embarrassed) by the autogenerated URLs. They were simply too long as it was using UUID to generate the URLs.

So - I generated a nice new function that will generate a short (3-10 chars) random string of upper/lower case letters and numbers.

This also allowed me to have a "short url" function (similar to tinyurl etc etc) without too much extra work.

Version 2.0 and 2.1 (small bugfix release of 2.0) of the grails pastebin was released today. Features include:

• Codebase is now internationalized (i18n)
• User friendly URLs
