美国时间2008年11月11日 21点16分, SpringSource宣布并购G2One公司(G2One公司拥有Groovy和Grails两大产品)。此次收购后， SpringSource现在将会向groovy和Grails开发团队提供全面的技术和解决方案的支持。

这对Groovy和Grails开发用户，无疑是一个好消息。

Spring官方叙述如下:
Spring, Groovy and Grails are three of the most popular application infrastructure solutions in the world. Groovy is one of the most popular alternative languages for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), with more than 30,000 downloads per month. Adoption of Grails has soared, with downloads racing from 7,000 to 70,000 per month in the past year.

本次收购成交后，两个公司相关负责人Rod Johnson, Graeme Rocher (Grails项目负责人)和Guillaume Laforge (Groovy项目负责人)
表示此次强强合作，定会给 Groovy和Grails 带来更多的发展空间，也会给Spring社区带来全新的一页。

让我们也期待，今后的发展吧!
