AntBuilder (Groovy 5.0.8)
Description: declaration: package: groovy.ant, class: AntBuilder

Package groovy.ant

# Class AntBuilder

java.lang.Object
groovy.lang.GroovyObjectSupport
groovy.util.BuilderSupport
groovy.ant.AntBuilder

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `GroovyObject`

public class AntBuilder extends BuilderSupport
Allows Ant tasks to be used with a Groovy builder-style markup. Requires that `ant.jar` is on your classpath which will happen automatically if you are using the Groovy distribution but will be up to you to organize if you are embedding Groovy. If you wish to use the optional tasks you will need to add one or more additional jars from the ant distribution to your classpath - see the library dependencies for more details.

- ## Method Details

  - ### getProject

    public org.apache.tools.ant.Project getProject()
    # Gets the Ant project in which the tasks are executed
    Returns:
      the project

  - ### getAntXmlContext

    public org.apache.tools.ant.helper.AntXMLContext getAntXmlContext()
    Gets the xml context of Ant used while creating tasks
    Returns:
      the Ant xml context

  - ### isSaveStreams

    public boolean isSaveStreams()
    Whether stdin, stdout, stderr streams are saved.
    Returns:
      true if we are saving streams
    See Also:
      - `setSaveStreams(boolean)`

  - ### setSaveStreams

    public void setSaveStreams(boolean saveStreams)
    Indicates that we save stdin, stdout, stderr and replace them while AntBuilder is executing tasks with streams that funnel the normal streams into Ant's logs.
    Parameters:
      `saveStreams` - set to false to disable this behavior

  - ### createProject

    protected static org.apache.tools.ant.Project createProject()
    Returns:
      Factory method to create new Project instances

  - ### setParent

    protected void setParent(Object parent, Object child)
    Specified by:
      `setParent` in class `BuilderSupport`

  - ### doInvokeMethod

    protected Object doInvokeMethod(String methodName, Object name, Object args)
    We don't want to return the node as created in `createNode(Object, Map, Object)` but the one made ready by `nodeCompleted(Object, Object)`
    Overrides:
      `doInvokeMethod` in class `BuilderSupport`
    See Also:
      - `BuilderSupport.doInvokeMethod(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)`

  - ### nodeCompleted

    protected void nodeCompleted(Object parent, Object node)
    Determines, when the ANT Task that is represented by the "node" should perform. Node must be an ANT Task or no "perform" is called. If node is an ANT Task, it performs right after complete construction. If node is nested in a TaskContainer, calling "perform" is delegated to that TaskContainer.
    Overrides:
      `nodeCompleted` in class `BuilderSupport`
    Parameters:
      `parent` - note: null when node is root
      `node` - the node that now has all its children applied

  - ### createNode

    protected Object createNode(Object tagName)
    Specified by:
      `createNode` in class `BuilderSupport`

  - ### createNode

    protected Object createNode(Object name, Object value)
    Specified by:
      `createNode` in class `BuilderSupport`

  - ### createNode

    protected Object createNode(Object name, Map attributes, Object value)
    Specified by:
      `createNode` in class `BuilderSupport`

  - ### buildAttributes

    protected static Attributes buildAttributes(Map attributes)
    Builds an `Attributes` from a `Map`
    Parameters:
      `attributes` - the attributes to wrap
    Returns:
      the wrapped attributes

  - ### createNode

    protected Object createNode(Object name, Map attributes)
    Specified by:
      `createNode` in class `BuilderSupport`

  - ### setText

    protected void setText(Object task, String text)

  - ### getAntProject

    public org.apache.tools.ant.Project getAntProject()
