How to configure db-reverse-engineer plugin
configuration, grails, grails-plugin, groovy
Solution
You need to configure your database in `grails-app/conf/DataSource.groovy`. In particular, you'll need to provide the JDBC URL, the database dialect and the databases's username and password.
You'll also have to add some extra `db-reverse-engineer` configuration to `grails-app/conf/Config.groovy`. This file will already exist. Just append the new properties at the end.
Finally, run the reverse engineer script to generate your domain classes:
grails db-reverse-engineer
Problem
I am a total Grails noob trying to configure the db-reverse-engineer plugin for my first project. Documentation for the plugin indicates that I need to configure it, but I don't see where I am supposed to edit configuration. Is there a configuration file in my project I need to edit? I have searched through the ./grails-app/conf folder for grails.plugin (the prefix for this plugin's configuration) and found nothing. An SO or Google search for how to configure grails plugins also returns void. I know this is a lame question, but how do I configure this plugin? Is there a UI I need to use, or are there files somewhere to edit?
