美國時間2008年11月11日 21點16分, SpringSource宣布并購G2One公司(G2One公司擁有Groovy和Grails兩大產品)。此次收購后， SpringSource現在將會向groovy和Grails開發團隊提供全面的技術和解決方案的支持。

這對Groovy和Grails開發用戶，無疑是一個好消息。

Spring官方敘述如下:
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.

本次收購成交后，兩個公司相關負責人Rod Johnson, Graeme Rocher (Grails項目負責人)和Guillaume Laforge (Groovy項目負責人)
表示此次強強合作，定會給 Groovy和Grails 帶來更多的發展空間，也會給Spring社區帶來全新的一頁。

讓我們也期待，今后的發展吧!

注：Groovy和Grails 產品介紹
