Hi, I did some other experiment with the groovy frontend to ant recently. And I would like to be able to make a groovy build file import an xml build file and vice versa.
As far as I can tell, in order to do this, a simple change would be needed in ImportTask. Rather than doing this in importResource: helper.parse(getProject(), importedResource); we would do something like: ProjectHelper subHelper = ProjectHelperRepository.getInstance().getProjectHelperForBuildFile( importedResource); // push current stacks into the sub helper subHelper.getImportStack().addAll(helper.getImportStack()); subHelper.getExtensionStack().addAll(helper.getExtensionStack()); getProject().addReference(ProjectHelper.PROJECTHELPER_REFERENCE, subHelper); subHelper.parse(getProject(), importedResource); // push back the stacks from the sub helper to the main one getProject().addReference(ProjectHelper.PROJECTHELPER_REFERENCE, helper); helper.getImportStack().clear(); helper.getImportStack().addAll(subHelper.getImportStack()); helper.getExtensionStack().clear(); helper.getExtensionStack().addAll(subHelper.getExtensionStack()); For the little tests I have done with the groovy frontend, it seems to work quite well. Actually it seems so simple that I am wondering if I might have missed some side effect. Did I ? At least the unit tests showed me that I did nothing that wrong.
