Grails - Checking Projects into SVN

Why a page dedicated to adding Grails projects to source control? Because you want to make sure that only realy source files rather than generated ones are added to the repository. There's nothing more annoying than being told by your SCM tool that such and such a file has been changed locally simply because it has been regenerated.

The key to successful use of source control with Grails is to make sure your SCM tool ignores the right files. Grails is pretty configurable, so this can depend on the project. But for a default Grails project you should ensure these files and directories are included in any ignore list:

• target/
• web-app/plugins/
• web-app/WEB-INF/classes/ - common if you use Eclipse or STS
