How do I activate my plug-ins?

How do I disable grails from loading certain plugins loaded by default when starting up?

  • I wasn't aware that grails will load a set of default plugins when starting up. This isn't obvious when running in dev mode using run-app. But when I built a war and dropped it into a app server, the memory usage goes crazy high and I see the following snippet of logs: 31767 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [i18n] with version [2.1.0] loaded successfully 31770 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [logging] with version [2.1.0] loaded successfully 31771 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [core] with version [2.1.0] loaded successfully 32039 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [groovyPages] with version [2.1.0] loaded successfully 32053 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [urlMappings] with version [2.1.0] loaded successfully 32060 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [controllers] with version [2.1.0] loaded successfully 32076 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [domainClass] with version [2.1.0] loaded successfully 32079 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [dataSource] with version [2.1.0] loaded successfully 32547 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [cacheHeaders] with version [1.1.5] loaded successfully 32548 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [redis] with version [1.3.2] loaded successfully 32549 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [resources] with version [1.1.6] loaded successfully 32549 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [services] with version [2.1.0] loaded successfully 32551 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [servlets] with version [2.1.0] loaded successfully 32561 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [mimeTypes] with version [2.1.0] loaded successfully 32571 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [codecs] with version [2.1.0] loaded successfully 32579 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [filters] with version [2.1.0] loaded successfully 32579 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [validation] with version [2.1.0] loaded successfully 32583 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [scaffolding] with version [2.1.0] loaded successfully 32598 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [converters] with version [2.1.0] loaded successfully 32664 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [lesscssResources] with version [1.3.0] loaded successfully 32676 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [cachedResources] with version [1.0] loaded successfully 32684 [main] INFO org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - Grails plug-in [zippedResources] with version [1.0] loaded successfully How do I disable the loading of certain plugins because I don't need them? Say, the scaffold plugin and the domainClass plugin (this is a HTML 5 app with no DB connection) Thanks !

  • Answer:

    I did this in previous versions by using the Config.groovy and adding the plugins I didn't need in the excludes section. I don't know if the Grails current version has a plugin scope feature, but it should...
