How to use grails.plugin.location?

grails, grails-plugin

Solution

`grails.plugin.location` is not a dependency resolution, so it goes outside `grails.project.dependency.resolution`.

It should be like below, if both `myPluginDemo` and `myPlugin` are in the same directory. Moreover, this will not install the plugin into the app, but the application will refer to the file system for the plugin which is convenient in development mode. In order to use the packaged plugin it has to be referred in `plugins` inside `grails.project.dependency.resolution`

grails.plugin.location.myPlugin = "../myPlugin"
grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
    repositories {

    }
    dependencies {

    }
    plugins {

    }
}

Problem

I have a plugin project which I created as `grails create-plugin myPlugin`. I also created a 'normal' grails project as `grails create-app myPluginDemo`. I'm trying to install `myPlugin` plugin in `myPluginDemo` but don't understand how to use `grails.plugin.location`. Where do I put `grails.plugin.location` inside `BuildConfig.groovy`? Inside `plugins` section? Inside `repositories` section? What should I append to `grails.plugin.location`? Should it be `grails.plugin.location.myPlugin`? Or `grails.plugin.location.grails-my-plugin`? Something else?
