SpringSource Acquires Groovy/Grails Company, G2One

Spring is a huge name on the Java landascape. The Spring based web framework, Spring MVC, is also well known, but doesn’t really capture the big headlines like Spring or some other web framework. SpringSource, the company behind Spring, today has announced that it is acquiring G2One, the company behind Groovy and Grails. Since Grails is built on top of Spring and Spring MVC, this appears to make a lot of sense. I think its a safe bet that Grails adaoption will pick up significantly. This is definitely a headline grabber.
