Patrice Clement commented on GROOVY-7660:
-----------------------------------------

Alright. I'll bear it in mind for next time. Thank you for merging the PR!

Oh and just so you know: I'm a Gentoo developer and we do package Groovy.

https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/tree/master/dev-java/groovy

Unfortunately, since Groovy requires Gradle, which itself is written in 
Groovy.. (Catch 22..), we went ahead and wrote our own way of compiling it 
using the traditional "Gentoo recipe" for building Java applications (without 
Gradle, of course). And it works quite well! Anyway, I was wondering if you 
would:
- consider adding back a fairly basic Ant build.xml file for ppl not willing to 
rely on Gradle.
- accept a PR that would add it back to the root of the project in case I wrote 
it.

Ant is still quite useful to us.

Cheers
