I am doing a small Groovy project this weekend, generating some html pages from some config file. Down the road I could see the project expanding to a grails front end or something.
I have predominately used Ant and earlier this year had a good though short experience with Maven for a project. Maven was great though I thought all the xml a bit verbose and looking in the repository I started seeing these more concise ivy targets. With that in mind I did more research and found gradle which I see uses Ivy. I know such a tool might be overkill for now but I would like to experiment with it. I am using IntelliJ but with Eclipse project format. Reading the faq I see that Gradle can generate eclipse projects files. That 's a one line command in Maven, is there something similar in gradle? Please direct me to the manual reference if so. I am expecting gradle organises the code in some consistent directory fashion like maven, where can I read about this in the manual? Thanks for any advice. Cheers, Tom.
