Griffon In Front Grails In Back

This document discusses leveraging Griffon, a desktop application framework built on Groovy and Java, to build desktop applications that interact with Grails backends. It provides an overview of Griffon and demonstrates building a simple counting application with a button, menus, and actions using Griffon and Swing/SwingX builders. The document outlines a plan to build a more full-featured application with common GUI elements like menus, toolbars, content areas, dialogs, and calling web services from the Grails backend.
