This software allows users to script their Ant tasks using Groovy programming language. It provides a convenient way to automate repetitive tasks and customize Ant's build process. The tool is designed to simplify configuration and increase productivity for developers.
This Codehaus project has its main repository on a Subversion repository. This Launchpad project serves as a host for the Bazaar branches and mirror branches of HEAD. Most of the community activity occurs through the mailing lists that are accessible via Codehaus.
