Gretty 1.1.4 is out!

I’m glad to announce release 1.1.4 of Gretty – advanced Gradle plugin for running web-apps on Jetty and Tomcat!

What’s new in Gretty 1.1.4:

• New feature: inplaceMode property, when assigned to “hard”, instructs Gretty to serve files directly from src/main/webapp, bypassing file copy on change.
• New feature: runner arguments for Gretty products.
• New feature: interactiveMode property allows to fine-tune Gretty’s reaction on keypresses.
• New feature: archiveProduct task, archives the generated product to zip-file.
• New feature: gretty.springBootVersion property allows to specify spring boot version (the default is 1.1.7.RELEASE) (issue #88, “Set Spring / SpringBoot version doesn’t work”).
• New feature: gretty.enableNaming property allows to enable JNDI naming on Tomcat (issue #64, “JNDI – NoInitialContextException with Tomcat (tried in 7x and 8x)”).
• Enhancement: now gretty.jvmArgs property is automatically passed to Gretty products.
• Enhancement in Jetty/Windows-specific lifecycle: useFileMappedBuffer is set to false for all Gretty tasks, so that Jetty does not lock css/js files.
• Enhancement in buildProduct task: now it automatically generates VERSION.txt file with the version and creation date information.
• Resolved issue #89, “How to configure fastReload?”.
• Upgrades:
  • gradle wrapper to version 2.1
  • Groovy to version 2.3.7
  • SpringBoot to version 1.1.7.RELEASE
  • Embedded Tomcat 7 to version 7.0.55
  • Embedded Tomcat 8 to version 8.0.14
  • Embedded Jetty 9 to version 9.2.3.v20140905
  • asm to version 5.0.3
• Implemented support of Gradle 1.10 (still, using Gradle 2.1 is highly recommended!).
• fixed issues with groovy-all versions and logback versions in the webapp classpath

I highly appreciate your feedback!
