First, thanks to Peter for the catch on the single quote. That got left in
there from my many iterations of attempts at success.
Eventually I also had to add the dir attribute to resolve a classpath issue.
Clearly, using Maven the last couple of years has made me rusty at my Ant.
Etienne, thanks for bringing the lifecycle to my attention. I will read up on
that now.
One last thing: I have found that the failonerror attribute on the java task
isn't working for me. Is anyone seeing that? If so, does anyone care and
consider that a bug?
Thanks.

Minor correction to my previous code sample where I forgot the task name:
task startTomcat << {
ant.java(...)

Hi Neil
Are you aware that you are starting Tomcat during the configuration phase of
Gradle and not during the execution phase?
If you add the <<, Tomcat will be started during the execution phase of Gradle.
This would also make sure that Tomcat is only started if Gradle determines that
the startTomcat task needs to run, i.e. startTomcat is specified on the command
line or it is a dependency of a task specified on the command line.
task << {
ant.java(...)
}

I would like to start and stop Tomcat with Gradle tasks, but I figured I would
start slowly and see if I could get things started first. Here is my task
(executed on my Windows box):
tomcatHome = System.getenv()["CATALINA_HOME"]
task startTomcat() {
ant.java(jar: tomcatHome +
"\\bin\\bootstrap.jar'<smb://bin//bootstrap.jar'>", fork: "true") {
arg value: "start"
classpath {
pathelement path: tomcatHome + "\\lib<smb://lib>"
}
}
}
The result is this:
19:51:38.234 [DEBUG] [org.gradle.api.internal.project.ant.AntLoggingAdapter]

'start'
The ' characters around the executable and arguments are
not part of the command.

Assume that file is there. Is there anything obviously wrong I am doing?
Incidentally, I tried adding escaped quotation marks to account for the spaces
in the path, but that really made things weird.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks.
