Not quite but that is exactly piece I'm extract with some advice from Strachan. Once free from groovy dependencies it can be used in groovy obviously, but also in Maven. It could be given back to Ant to make embedding much more simple. Clear evidence of embedding problems is the fact that most IDEs that I have seen the Ant integration for resort to executing Ant from the command line because embedding Ant is like pulling out your own teeth with pliers. If anyone wants to witness the fun take a look at the AntBuilder in groovy: not many folks would have been able to write that beast. Hopefully we can benefit from what Strachan went through writing it and reuse it. > , has decent xml processing and building tools (anyway, > the same guy stands behind it as behind jelly, and many ideas were > transferred) + it's a compilable, interpretable, embeddable terse language. > > The main drawback for me was that it is in a state of the continous flux.
