converting gant build scripts into ant scripts

Question

I am pressmuming (without really knowing) that "gant" is superior to "ant", especially when building grails applications. I have some old, inherited, grails apps using ant. Is is possible or easy to convert existing build.xml files into gant build scripts?

Answer 1

ANT2GANT

If you have a go at using it, please feel free to give feedback and/or make bug reports and improvement requests via the Gant JIRA.

The project for this script is being maintained as a Bazaar branch. The URL for the branch is http://www.russel.org.uk/Bazaar/Ant2Gant **, though if you want to browse the material rather than branch is you may well want to use the URL http://www.russel.org.uk:8080/Ant2Gant.ttp://www.russel.org.uk:8080/Ant2Gant.
