Griffon Alpha Plugin for NetBeans IDE 6.7
I created an Alpha version of the Griffon plugin for NetBeans IDE 6.7. The previous version was Pre-Alpha, created for little other reason than to allow Dierk, Danno, and others to demo Griffon apps in an IDE during their JavaOne 2009 presentations.
The biggest problem in that version was that the Griffon plugin destroyed the Grails plugin, which is now no longer the case. Also some user requests have been implemented, e.g., the 'src' folder is now also shown in the Projects window.
The binaries are here:
http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=18664
Please make sure to read everything on the page above before commenting or asking questions. For example, do NOT try to import Griffon applications (or Grails applications), simply OPEN them (because convention over configuration rocks for tooling support).
The whole thing is now open sourced too:

Some screenshots, the first showing both Grails and Griffon apps in the IDE (note the 'Source Packages' folder, which is new in the Projects window, i.e., that's the 'src' folder in the Griffon app)...
...the second shows a list of project commands available to Griffon apps:
There are also file templates for Griffon artifacts, including the MVC structures.
Tomorrow I intend to make a screencast that goes over all the features of the Griffon plugin, which will then be published on netbeans.tv.
