JavaOne day one - JDK 7, JEE 6, JavaFX 1.2 and an appstore

G2One, the company behind Grails is aquired by Spring Source (the company behind Spring). To my opinion this is great news. Spring Source is becoming a serious choice for enterprise development, and it will be easier to use Grails as the development environment...
