I generated my Grails app and checked it into git (setup some .gitignore to exclude .class files, added an example file as a substitute for files that may contain passwords like DataSource.groovy, and ensured to 'touch' some dummy files for folders like src which are initially empty, so they don't get ignored, etc., in other words ensured everything is just the way it is...except for generated files)

When i clone the project, and attempt to open it as a new project in STS, it no longer behaves just the same as any Grails project. I face all the issues in https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-1347

I don't want my team to jump through hoops to get our project to work in the IDE and to version control it...any suggestions?
