- mail - mail has problems in that it isn't suitable for morph (mor.ph), it also has no support for attachements, has code that isn't reliable (when setting to/cc/bcc) and various other problems. I notice there is a mail-0.6-SNAPSHOT which adds support for headers - done by Peter Ledbrook, which has not yet seen the light of day.
- acegi - when something goes wrong here, it is almost impossible to figure out what - there is little or no logging. This is really irritating. Other than that, it is an absolutely wonderful plugin that is mature and comprehensive and growing with the capabilities of the Internet (eg. Facebook and openId integration)
- morph-deploy - this is an early work given the increasing popularity of morph amongst grails devotees, but it is missing the removal of the mail archive (which is understandable as you don't need to do it unless you have the mail plugin!). It is a pity it can't recognize plugins and remove their dependencies if morph doesn't want them
- navigation - shipped this has blocking faults with requiring logging and occasionally loading before logging is loaded (which is now fixed by Marc Palmer in the latest snapshot) and also that when you have multiple navigation elements in a single controller it blows chunks (null pointers - which is as yet unfixed in the HEAD).
I'm going to need to figure out how to sort this out - and I've bitten the bullet and decided to join grails plugin dev to see if I can make a difference.
