This should not ever be the default configuration and only be left to the individual's choice. It's a freakin pain to do two configurations just get this thing running in debug mode in intellij. First you have to setup or modify the normal run configuration by adding "--debug-fork" after run-app. Second, you have to configure remote debugging , while accepting all the defaults. Then you have to run the run configuration, and when that's running, you run the debug configuration. What a pain. I prefer totally doing away with running without the forked option while developing. Time is money and I don't have time to monkey around. See Mr.HAKI explanation on doing this. http://blog.jdriven.com/2013/12/grails-goodness-debugging-app-forked-mode/
