		<title>SpringSource and G2One</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is pretty incredible to read this morning on groovyblogs.org that G2One, the company behind Groovy and Grails, has been aquired by SpringSource, the company behind Spring. The press release is here.
It is going to be a great fit because both companies have succeeded in changing the face of Enterprise Java. Congratulations to SpringSource and G2One.
