Description-en: Groovy build framework based on scripting Ant tasks
Gant is a build tool for scripting Ant tasks using Groovy instead of
XML to specify the build logic. A Gant build specification is a
Groovy script and so can bring all the power of Groovy to bear
directly, something not possible with Ant scripts. Whilst it might be
seen as a competitor to Ant, Gant uses Ant tasks for many of the
actions, so Gant is really an alternative way of doing builds using
Ant, but using a programming language rather than XML to specify the
build rules.
