or $ grails install-plugin http://zkgrails.googlecode.com/files/grails-zk-1.0-M1.zip

Quick Start

Type $ grails create-zul index will give you

• web-app/index.zul linked with ${indexComposer}
• grails-app/composers/IndexComposer.groovy, the composer class.

Then $ grails run-app, and point your browser to http://localhost:8080/<your app>/index.zul.

As of version 0.7, auto reloading is fully supported.

To create only a composer, you can type $ grails create-composer <name>.
