Nicely done.
You can also specify a different java home other than the default set by
Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app

For example:
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home
export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home
export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home
export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Home

Ports is a great way to go if that’s your thing. However, I often find that ports doesn’t have the version I want etc… I also like to have a little more control over what I’m laying down, but it is a great option for folks to remember.

sudo port install groovy
sudo port install grails

installs here:
/opt/local/share/java/grails
/opt/local/share/java/groovy

note CurrentJDK must point to v1.5.0 as 1.6.0 produces OutOfMemoryError

Thanks Michael, I updated the IntelliJ section to include setting the paths for Groovy & Grails.

Nicely done, thanks! I did have to do a “chmod a+x *” in /usr/local/grails-1.0.2/bin, FWIW.
