Domain Modeling for Grails in Eclipse

Domain Modeling for Grails in Eclipse

HiberObjects can generate JPA classes for Grails from UML class diagrams. This results in a combination of UML domain modeling and agile web development; The model is designed in class diagrams, the view is Groovy Server Pages (similar to JSP), and the controllers are Groovy classes.

So why should you use HiberObjects and Java instead of Groovy for the model? The main reason is if you want to use UML class diagrams to model your domain. Or you could import a database into a class model and quickly create an application with Grails. You can also use the domain classes for other Java code, such as GWT. And you get the object oriented unit testing capabilities of HiberObjects.
