Hi Martin,
Buildr offers a nice integration with Ant. Basically you can reuse any ant
tasks.
You can write things like:
def xmlbeans(files) do
Buildr.ant "xmlbeans" do |ant|
ant.taskdef :name => "xmlbeans",
:classname => "org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.tool.XMLBean",
:classpath => 'org.apache.xmlbeans:xmlbeans:jar:2.3.0'
ant.xmlbeans :srconly => "true",
:srcgendir => "true",
:classgendir => "true",
:javasource => "false" do
files.flatten.each do |file|
ant.fileset File.directory?(file) ? { :dir => file }
: { :file => file }
end
end
end
See http://buildr.apache.org/rdoc/classes/Buildr/Ant.html for general usage.
Some common tasks like Hibernate's are precanned, see [1] and other things
under /addon.
I double checked the website and didn't find anything consistent on this. I
agree there is room for improvement. Maybe the main website could have more
documentation and the 'Recipe' section or the wiki more examples.
