grails plugin repositories

Question

By default, the following repositories are configured in BuildConfig.groovy

repositories {
    grailsPlugins()
    grailsHome()    // look inside the grails installation
    grailsCentral()
}

I understand that the grailsHome() repository corresponds to the JARs that are available within the local Grails installation, and I guess grailsPlugins() corresponds to the repository where released Grails plugins are stored.

Am I right about these two, and if so, what is grailsCentral()?

As I understand it;

grailsPlugins() looks inside the ~/.grails/version directory

grailsHome() (as you suspected) looks inside the Grails installation directory

grailsCentral() looks to be using the grails subversion repository

The path you suggested for grailsPlugins() is wrong, look at my answer for the right location it points to. – Sudhir N Mar 20 '14 at 14:13

@sudhir Yeah things have probably changed over the 3 years – tim_yates Mar 20 '14 at 14:17

Here's exactly where it is looks for

grailsPlugins() - Looks for jars inside /lib directory of each installed plugin. (See GrailsPluginsDirectoryResolver)
grailsHome() - Looks inside the GRAILS-HOME/lib directory
grailsCentral() - Looks at http://grails.org/plugins
