Gant Description

Scripting Ant tasks with Groovy. Gant is a tool for scripting Ant tasks with Groovy.Ant uses XML as the notation for specifying a build, this means it is very difficult to specify easily anything but the simplest of builds. Gant is a way of working with all the Ant tasks, but using a Groovy script instead of XML to specify the build logic. Groovy is a far better language for describing builds that XML so Gant is the Groovy symbiote to Ant: all the Ant tasks, none of the XML hassles.This is project is a Codehaus project. The main repository is a Subversion repository. This Launchpad project is to host the Bazaar branches, and in particular mirror branches of HEAD.Most community activity is based around the mailing lists hosted by Codehaus.Gant is a build tool for scripting Ant tasks using Groovy instead of XML to specify the build logic. A Gant build specification is a Groovy script and so can bring all the power of Groovy to bear directly, something not possible with Ant scripts. Whilst it might be seen as a competitor to Ant, Gant uses Ant tasks for many of the actions, so Gant is really an alternative way of doing builds using Ant, but using a programming language rather than XML to specify the build rules.Here is an example Gant script:includeTargets What's New in This Release: · This version of Gant has some bug fixes but mostly the change is the introduction of pre- and post-target hooks to allow more flexibility in target usage.
