I am a total Grails noob trying to configure the db-reverse-engineer plugin for my first project. Documentation for the plugin indicates that I need to configure it, but I don’t see where I am supposed to edit configuration.

Is there a configuration file in my project I need to edit? I have searched through the ./grails-app/conf folder for grails.plugin (the prefix for this plugin’s configuration) and found nothing. An SO or Google search for how to configure grails plugins also returns void. I know this is a lame question, but how do I configure this plugin? Is there a UI I need to use, or are there files somewhere to edit?

    You need to configure your database in grails-app/conf/DataSource.groovy. In particular, you’ll need to provide the JDBC URL, the database dialect and the databases’s username and password.

    You’ll also have to add some extra db-reverse-engineer configuration to grails-app/conf/Config.groovy. This file will already exist. Just append the new properties at the end.

    Finally, run the reverse engineer script to generate your domain classes:
