Environment variables in Ubuntu

/etc/environment

That file holds all global, system wide variables. No shell required.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables

Update:
Well, too bad, tomcat6 in Ubuntu does not picks them up. :-(
Anyway, setenv.sh to the rescue.

This is my default BuildConfig.groovy from now on

Took some time to fine tune it.
- prod war exports to appName.war without app version
- build and runtime features hsqldb version 2.2.4 instead of the 1.8 which is included with Grails and unusable since I need to use more sophisticated SQL commands like MERGE - just to make sure, the lib directory contains hsqldb-2.2.4.jar (and not hsqldb.jar - this is but a simple change of the file name).

Good job, Apache. Tomcat 7.0.16 default screen looks cool.

They did not touch it for years. It looked ugly, not Web 2.0 like at all.
Now everything is different. Looks like they hired a new designer.

Thanks, STS for "Select a workspace"

This was turned back on in the latest release of Springsource Toolsuite 2.7.1.
The previous version did not ask anything. Argh.
