The plugin is now listed on JetBrains Marketplace as Apache Grails with the ASF as official vendor, and the Apache Grails PMC controls its release cadence and IDE compatibility going forward. Build 262.0.0, supporting IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, is already available. No migration is needed for existing users and the plugin ID stays the same, but starting with 2026.2 the plugin is no longer bundled by default with IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, so users may need to install it manually from Marketplace under its new listing. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Why can't I find the Grails plugin bundled in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate anymore? Starting with IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, the Grails plugin is no longer bundled by default with IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. It has moved under Apache Software Foundation ownership and is now listed as Apache Grails on JetBrains Marketplace, so users need to install it manually from that new listing if it's missing. _Track framework and tooling migrations like the Grails plugin move on daily.dev before they catch your build off guard._ ### Do I need to migrate anything if I already have the Grails plugin installed in IntelliJ IDEA? No migration is required. The plugin ID stays the same for now, and updates continue to arrive automatically, just from the new maintainers at the Apache Grails Project Management Committee instead of JetBrains, which now builds, signs, and publishes releases under its own vendor credentials. _Developers relying on IDE plugins can follow ownership changes like this via daily.dev to avoid surprises._ ### What version of the Apache Grails IntelliJ plugin supports IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2? Build 262.0.0 of the plugin, now maintained by the Apache Grails Project Management Committee, supports IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2. It ships under the plugin's new Apache Grails listing on JetBrains Marketplace, with the release cadence set by the Grails team rather than tied to IntelliJ IDEA release schedules. _Keep tabs on plugin compatibility updates for your IDE version through daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Grails Is Back: Inside the Apache Software Foundation Migration](https://daily.dev/posts/grails-is-back-inside-the-apache-software-foundation-migration-d9fo36rdy) · Foojay.io · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Grails 7.0, Now Under the Apache Software Foundation, Delivers Enhancements for Micronaut and GORM](https://daily.dev/posts/grails-7-0-now-under-the-apache-software-foundation-delivers-enhancements-for-micronaut-and-gorm-ohaoyc36n) · InfoQ · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#devtools](https://daily.dev/tags/devtools), [#java](https://daily.dev/tags/java), [#apache](https://daily.dev/tags/apache), [#jetbrains](https://daily.dev/tags/jetbrains) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/the-grails-plugin-has-a-new-home-apache-grails-8f3i9ag35) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"The Grails Plugin Has a New Home: Apache Grails","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/the-grails-plugin-has-a-new-home-apache-grails-8f3i9ag35","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/the-grails-plugin-has-a-new-home-apache-grails-8f3i9ag35"},"datePublished":"2026-09-01T13:28:46.407Z","dateModified":"2026-09-01T13:29:11.126Z","description":"The Grails plugin for IntelliJ IDEA has moved ownership from JetBrains to the Apache Grails project, which already stewards the Grails framework itself.
