Getting Started

I personally recommended the following development tools (although any grails compatible IDE and git source control software will do):

Groovy on grails ToolSuit - GGTS

SourceTree - Source Tree

1. Navigate to Grails previous releases and download binaries for grails 2.3.1 (we will need these later) - Grails Previous Releases.
2. Clone this git repository locally.
3. Import the groovy_metadata_registry folder that sits within your cloned repository, as a grails project into your chosen IDE. At this point the IDE will complain that you are not using the correct version of grails. You need to click configure installations, then add the 2.3.1 installation that you downloaded from the grails site. Then you will be able to select the installation 2.3.1 and should be good to go. Hurrah!
4. Left click on the project, go to grails tools-->refresh dependencies.
5. Then run the project on your server.
6. Navigate to http://localhost:8080/groovy_metadata_registry and log in with the following credentials: admin, admin123 or username1, password1 or username2, password2.
