A common requirement in many applications is to deal with countries and/or continents. The plugin’s goal is to apply the DRY principle to these requirements.
In short, the plugin offers:
- populated domain classes for countries and continents
- i18n for continent and country names (for now, only en and de locales). Currently there are 190 countries available.
- tags for simple usage of
- localized names for countries and continents
- select boxes: for all countries, for all continents, for all countries of a continent or for a defined set of countries. The select box contents are automatically sorted by the the localized country/continent name.

For bug reports please use http://jira.codehaus.org, project “GrailsPlugins”, component “countries”.
Update: since the initial release requires the usage of Grails 1.3.4-SNAPSHOT a bugfix release 0.1.1 has been release shortly afterwards. 0.1.1 should work with Grails >= 1.0.

Cool!
Hello Stefan, I have the countries 0.3 plugin working AFAIK. I am not getting any exceptions but the results are somewhat buggy:
* GrailsUnitTestCase such as the following seem to show all is copacetic:
assertEquals ‘United States of America’, animalMaster.country.getKey()
* I have Grails standard CRUD: list, add, edit, show working with countries 0.3. On the list.gsp page the country column is empty if populated via Bootstrap.groovy. And, this is verified by the mysql table column: country_id displays NULL.
* If I edit a record from the list.gsp and update the country column by selecting a country from the countries 0.3 pull-down the following is displayed in the country column:
grails.plugins.countries.Country : 241
* The value displayed above: 241 is persisted in the MySQL column: country_id.
I can create an issue for this in Jira unless you have a solution.

Hi David,
are you using scaffolding for CRUD? If so, the behaviour is obvious since the plugin currently does not change the standard scaffolding.
