[FIXED] Grails war command defaults to development environment under netbeans

Issue

When I generate the war in my grails app via right-click / run grails / command / war, it shows "Environment set to development", having it run without parameters. Why is this happening when according to the docs it should default to production (which is what I need)?

BTW, is there a way having built the whole grails application with NetBeans to use the command line to generate the wars ?

Versions: NetBeans 6.7.1, Grails 1.2 OS: Ubuntu 9.1

Thanks

Solution

The netbeans plugin is probably running the command "grails dev war" which creates a war file based on the development settings. The normal "grails war" command uses production settings. You should just be able to change to the directory containing your grails-app and src folders and run the command

grails war

This assumes that you have grails installed and on your path.
