title: favourite IDE for griffon development
body: <p>I am experimenting with Groovy Griffon development and I am wondering what IDE to use.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to use NetBeans 6.5, and I found this post</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/entry/notes_on_converting_netbeans_grails" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/entry/notes_on_converting_netbeans_grails</a></p>
  
  <p>essentially it describes forking the NetBeans trunk and hacking the Grails support; I was hoping for something more lightweight.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any simple tools to create eclipse, netbeans or pom.xml's from Griffin Apps?</p>
  
  <p>Or is it best to use a simple text editor?</p>
