How to have grails run-app use https by default (without the -https command line option)

Question

I would like to be able to run ``` grails run-app ``` and have it, by default, use ssl as if I ran ``` grails run-app -https ``` I would like this behavior for a couple reasons. The most important is that I want the Netbeans IDE grails integration to start up the https connection by default. But also, running on the command line, I won't have to remember or type the https since I always want that in my development environment.

Accepted Answer

The most important is that I want the Netbeans IDE grails integration to start up the https connection by default.

Surely this can be configured within the IDE?

also, running on the command line, I won't have to remember or type the https since I always want that in my development environment.

If you're using Linux or Mac, I would define an alias

```
alias run-app='grails run-app -https'
```

so you can get the behaviour you want simply by typing `run-app` on the command line. You could similarly achieve this on windows by creating a file `run-app.bat` whose contents are

```
grails run-app -https
```

and put this file in a directory that's on the PATH
