Thanks Szczepan and Hans for your responses and help.
Best regards,

Gradle is shipped with the ant-nodeps jar. So
you can easily use the ftp task:
dependencies {
addMavenRepo()
addConfiguration('ftpAntTask')
ftpAntTask "org.apache.ant:ant-commons-net:1.7.0"
}
ant {
taskdef(name: 'ftp',
classname:
'org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.net.FTP',
classpath: dependencies.antpath('ftpAntTask'))
ftp(<args>) {
...
}
}
It is one of our aims for the next versions to make Gradle more
modular. So that you can for example use any version of Ant. Right now
you have to stick with Ant-1.7.0.

Hi,
I'm not an expert so either I'm gonna confuse you or actually help :)
Gradle speaks ant natively so you can declare custom ant tasks exactly
the same you do with plain ant files (was it <taskdef/> ?). Obviously
your suggestion is more elegant but I'm just saying that it should be
possible to use extra ant tasks without hacking GRADLE_HOME/lib on
every machine.
Cheers,

Hi all,
I would like to use Ant optional tasks in the Gradle build.
For example FTP. If I copy ant-optional.jar and NetComponents.jar
into the directory GRADLE_HOME/lib directory it works fine but
there is one disadvantage, in this case these libraries must be copied
to all Gradle installations on other computers. It will be very helpful
for me do something like this in the build.gradle:
dependencies {
// automatically download optional tasks JAR and set it to
classpath...
downloadDependencyAndSetToMainClassPath
'ant:ant-optional:1.5.3-1'
}
...
createTask('foo') {
// ...so it is possible to use FTP task later without manual
installation
ant.ftp(server: 'ftp.foo.com',
remotedir: 'www/foo',
userid: 'foo.com', password: 'foo') {
fileset(dir: 'foo')
}
}
My look to documentation of the Gradle API does not give me any
solution how to set this type of dependency and I am stuck. All
attempts of setting dependency fails with Cause: the class
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.net.FTP was not found. Any
ideas how to solve this issue?
Best regards,
Ales
