Check out JGrowl [1] from Stephen Martin. It is Java code that can send growl notifications via the network. It also provides a basic Java version of Growl so that non-Mac users can get some Growl goodness.

Also, I’ve created an Ant BuildListener [2] that uses JGrowl to send Growl notifications when a build starts/ends.

Whoops…hit send in mid-though. The above post should read:

Very nice tip. Instead of invoking ant to execute a process you can also use the following:

void growlNotify(String message) {
Thread.start{def p = Runtime.runtime.exec(“growlnotify -m ‘${s}’ Grails”);p.waitFor();p.destroy()}
}
