We are pleased to announce the availability of Grails 2.2. This release will be of particular interest to Groovy users at Grails now ships with Groovy 2.0!

Significant new features in this release include:

• Namespace support: It is now easier to modularize your Grails applications with more robust support added for namespacing controllers, URL mappings, services and domain classes
• Forked Mode: It is now possible to fork a JVM to run Tomcat, thus isolating classpaths and reducing memory footprint. This also allows deploying other Grails applications in parallel with the running application
