Announcing Grails iUI plug-in

I am excited to announce the release of a new Grails plug-in, iUI Plug-in version 0.2. This is the initial release of the plug-in. This plug-in installs the current version of the popular iUI library for developing native looking iPhone web applications. iUI is a combination of CSS, JavaScript and images for simplifying iPhone web applications and give the application a native iPhone application look and feel.

You can find more details about the Grails iUI plug-in and how to use it at the iUI Plug-in page. Also keep a look out for an upcoming indepth iPhone Web Development article in GroovyMag.
