There are a lot's of way to include jar on a grails project, however i think that te best way is using maven.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.tika</groupId>
    <artifactId>tika-core</artifactId>
    <version>...</version>
 </dependency>

add on your BuildConfig.groovy file

dependencies {
  ...
  compile'org.apache.tika:tika-core:1.7'
  ...
}

did you mean, it is not supported? – Rahul Winner Jan 21 '15 at 08:06
thanks ;) I could not find any other plugin.. Though you can certainly call TIKA classes in your grails application.. Or please elaborate what you want to achieve. – Rahul Winner Jan 21 '15 at 08:09

there is a thrird option. you can put the downloaded .jar file into the /lib dir of your grails project. do grails package and it should get picked up. this of course is a much inferior solution, than just using a plug-in or dependencies, but might come handy.

source java files classess – Develop4Life Jan 21 '15 at 11:36
sorry, i don't follow. are you talking about the sources for the library you are using? what ide are you using? intellij e.g. can disasm the classes or allows you to attach downloaded source files. – cfrick Jan 21 '15 at 11:41
