Groovy Ant

13 Aug 2013

In case you cannot use Gradle, here is how to get Groovy task in Ant, and how to call a macro from Groovy.

 <taskdef classname="org.codehaus.groovy.ant.Groovy" name="groovy">

  <classpath>

    <pathelement location="bin/groovy-ant-2.1.4.jar">

    <pathelement location="bin/groovy-all-2.1.4.jar">

  </pathelement></pathelement></classpath>

 </taskdef>

 <target name="test-groovy">

  <groovy>

   println "Hello World"

   def ant = new AntBuilder( project ) 

   ant.testmacro( dir: "qwerty" ) 

  </groovy>

 </target>

 <macrodef name="testmacro">

  <attribute name="dir">

  <sequential>

   <echo message="parameter: @{dir}">

  </echo></sequential>

 </attribute></macrodef>
