As a production server, Red Hat is a very solid JVM platform. ~Mike Reply ↓

I gave it a shot on Ubuntu12 or 13 sometime back and ran into many issues and gave up.(just did not want to spent a lot of time) moved back to django. Now I tried the lates version 2.3.6 and everything was working perfectly. I used gvm as installer. thanks for fixing bugs I think many people will like to use this in such a shape. Reply ↓

On 12.04 among many problems the JAVA_HOME was NOT set, and after chatting on IRC, I was told that STS was buggy and not to use it at all, then I was told later that I needed STS… Ahh 2 days work, and 0 for 4 machines… I think I will go back to Perl::Dancer with JEdit… Reply ↓

jawad on June 5, 2012 at 2:59 am said: Nice video and helpful tutorial, I am running ubuntu 12 and I want to install Grails using Sun JDK instead of OpenJDK, because some of other projects require Sun JDK and things don’t work well when I have Open JDK as default. I have Sun JDK 1.7 installed already and working fine. Is there anyway to install grails from command-line using JDK 1.7? Reply ↓

One little issue regarding the grails install on ubuntu, I had to additionally install openjdk-7-jdk on my 11.10 before the demo would run on a browser. sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk Best.
