This worked in Ant 1.7.1 but no longer works in Ant 1.8.1. Is this a bug or is there a new and/or better way to achieve what I'm trying to do? The Project consists of 2 components, each component has it's own build file and properties file, there is also a top level build file and properties file for common ant targets and properties. I...
If I understand correctly, the purpose of groovy and grails are to execute without (visible) compilation. However, I have inherited some old grails code that I can't build any more.

I can't figure out how to do this in Ant. <project default="main"> <target name="main"> <exec executable="echo" out...
This is a repeat of a question I posted on the Ant mailing list. However I haven't as yet had any replies. I have an Antlib foo.xml that contains <antlib> <macrodef name="AwesomeTask" /> </antlib> I have another Antlib bar.xml that uses foo.xml like so <antlib xmlns:foo="org.foo"> <typedef uri="org.foo" resource="foo.xml" /> ...
