Before anybody complains: I know that "as of 2014-10-21 PSR-0 has been marked as deprecated. PSR-4 is now recommended as an alternative." - Anyway I still think this little gem makes sense to be shared because a lot of people are probably not aware of it. I recently found out by accident that it is possible pass a task name in PSR-0 style to the "taskdef" task. In the old days you had to use the Java-like dot-style notation like this and also define the classpath to make sure the class could be loaded correctly:

A couple of weeks ago I blogged about my experiment with Grails and AngularJS. When I deployed the application "in production" I realized that I needed to change the Urls for accessing the Grails backend. In development mode Grails is running in an own Tomcat instance on a different port, while in production the Grails backend and the AngularJS frontend application are both served from the same Tomcat instance. In fact, both parts get exported to one .war file. After a bit of research I came across the grunt-ng-constant task which is named to be a "plugin for dynamic generation of angular constant modules". Sounds like what I needed ;)

However there was one thing which I wanted to change: After launching the built-in webserver via Grunt I needed to launch my browser (Chrome) manually. To sharpen my Grunt skills I went out to find a solution. In the end it turned out to be rather simple ;) - I came across the grunt-open package which allows us to "open urls and files from a grunt task". This is how I set things up:
