STS 2.9.1 Grails Plugin Manager does not open

[TAhl]

Hi,

i am starting with grails and use the STS 2.9.1. When i am trying to use the Grails Plugin Manager i got an popup with "Resolving list of available plugins" and at the first start the list was shown in the console window. But the Plugin manager does not open. I used serveral times but nothing happens. Is there a extension or plugin missing? I am using a windows 7 64bit.

regards,
Thomas

Did an update from 2.7 to 2.9.1 this morning and plugins in a grails project don't show in the Project Explorer and Plugin Manager won't open (successfully) to try to give things a push.

Old project: Grails 1.2.2

-- On edit, talked the client into upgrading Grails to 1.3.7 and so finessed the entire issue.

I am using a fresh install with Grails 2.0.1.

It is likely you are hitting this bug that I recently fixed:
https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-2490

Can you check your eclipse error log and see if the null pointer exception is there (as reported in the bug). (Get the error log via menu 'Windows >> Show View >> Error Log'.

If this is the bug you are hitting then you can find a possible workaround in the bug report. Also, you can update the Grails tooling from the nightly update site to get the bugfix.

Let me know if you need more help with any of that.

The workarround didn't help me.
I'm trying to get a nigthly build but I can find it.

How can I update my STS with the fix?

[Andy Clement]

The nightly update site for STS is here:

http://dist.springsource.com/snapsho...S/nightly/e3.7

Define that as an update site and then grab the Grails tools from it.

After update from Nightly Build it works.

Thanks Andy

When I add this site it has version 3 which is M1 is there any other way to fix it? If not what do I need to install whenever I select one that say's tools it says the dependencies aren't met. I've cleared out .grails and reloaded STS etc... with the same issue.

[Kris De Volder]

Unfortunately no, there is no other way to really fix except update to the version that has the bugfix in it.
That is, assuming you tried the workarounds suggested in the bug report and they didn't work for you.

If you tell us what dependencies you are missing, we may be able to tell you what update site to add for this dependency.
Is there an error message? If so please include the error message with your question.

I usually only have STS with the Grails Plugin installed, so which of the updates should I grab all or just a few?
I'm currently setup on 2.9.1 with Grails 1.3.7
