Groovy and Grails support is missing

[Luis Arias]

Binary package hint: shared-mime-info

I have filed a bug with upstream gtksourceview to include groovy and gsp language files.

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553894

However for things to work automatically with gedit, I need the groovy-mime.xml and gsp-mime.xml language files included in shared-mime-info.

The author of this blog has kindly provided these files which I will also attach to this issue.

I forgot to mention the corresponding bug in launchpad for gtksourceview:

I will try to add the two files to this package and produce a diff since it is based on the upstream tar ball instead of a debian package.

What is this MIME type used for? It sounds like something specific to an application...

[Luis Arias (kaaloo)]

Hi, both file types are used in the grails development framework : http://grails.org. GSP are server page templates similar to JSP files. Groovy is a dynamic language for the JVM : http://groovy.codehaus.org. The rationale for including these mime types is that it allows gedit to do syntax highlighting automatically and thus provides a better experience for the Groovy / Grails developer.
