I need to put into Grails 2.4.4 this:

I saw some plugins for Grails that add AngularJS but none that add AngularJS UI's. How to simply put this together?

If you are adopting AngularJS as your front-end single-page framework, and Grails as your REST API server, for the separation of concerns I would adopt a separate package manager like bower for managing the dependencies that are required on the client side and use Grails plugins only for managing server-side dependencies. At some point Grails might become a bottleneck for managing client-side plugins.

It does not necessarily imply that you cannot automate the process of dependency management by using task runners like Grunt as this interesting blog post points out.

If I understand correctly, after downloading packages by bower into web-app/bower-components, I don't need to change anything in grails for him to see AngularJS packages? Honestly, my project isn't big so I suppose that I don't need separate package manager.
if you are using the asset-pipeline-plugin you should put your static assets under grails-app/assets/javascripts. you can reference your assets in your .gsps with this syntax: <asset:javascript src="application.js"/>. If you don't mind hosting these static assets you might consider using a CDN.
I hope my original post did answer your question by the way.
For now I'll try CDN and include them in layout. This would be simplest way I suppose. Thanks for help ;]
