Testing OpenLayers with Selenium (Patch)

To improve the quality of both my sleep and Mappu development I have started using Selenium IDE for automated testing of Mappu's UI.

It was kind of hard at the beginning, being the UI based on Sproutcore which has the annoying habit of changing the controls ids with every page load, but after a while I was able to get it rolling quite nicely. Then I hit a major roadblock: the OpenLayers-based map control wouldn't react to clicks, mousedown, mouseup, fireEvent or anything else I threw at it.

Bootstrap Liquibase in your Grails app

Grails has had a liquibase plugin for a long time (note: I am talking about the old liquibase plugin based on 1.9). One functionality that (I feel) it's missing is a proper Bootstrap hook so that database changes can be deployed right when the application starts. The newest liquibase plugin called grails database migration has it built in.
