Presented is an example of how to use Groovy AntBuilder to drive the use of
XMLTask to transform an XML file. In addition, shown is how to unit test using
the XMLUnit framework.
http://members.cox.net/jbetancourt1/content/GroovyAntXMLTaskXMLUnit.html
Basically, the Groovy AntBuilder reuses the Ant library and eliminates the use
of XML as a scripting language. XML doesn't bother me, but this approach
removes the "declaritive" straight jacket (allows procedural coding).
