Hi,
I know Jean-Louis BOUDART has been working on plugging different
frontends into EasyAnt so maybe we could join forces - Jean-Louis,
are
you reading this?
Sorry for long responding i was on holidays :).
I was thinking a few time ago to introduce an abstraction layer in the
project helper.
As stefan highlighted <ant> and <subant> task are configured through
the
ProjectHelper that's why i wanted to put the abstraction layer here.
Why adding a new abstraction layer ?
As everyone knows the only way to write an ant script is XML. It
could be
really interesting to support others languages like Java or groovy.
Then if users want to write their own ant script they are able to
write it
in XML (with ant syntax has everyone know in the world :)) or in
Java (maybe
Groovy ? or whatever).
I thought about writing a ProjectHelper that will be in charge to
determine
which "dialect" will be used (maybe based on conventions on
extensions .ant
.java .jar .groovy) and to delegate to a class that will be in
charge to do
all the specific stuff.
I didn't get time to start a POC on this but i will do it in the
next few
days.
It could be cool if we could join forces on this.
Here is a simple first patch:

As noted there I still have some issues, probably in the groovy
frontend.
