Gant is Groovy Ant Scripting
Gant is a tool for scripting Ant tasks using Groovy instead of XML to specify the logic. A Gant 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 things using Ant, but using a programming language rather than XML to specify the rules.
Here is an example Gant script:
| Code Block |
|---|
includeTargets << gant.targets.Clean
cleanPattern << [ '**/*~' , '**/*.bak' ]
cleanDirectory << 'build'
target ( stuff : 'A target to do some stuff.' ) {
println ( 'Stuff' )
depends ( clean )
echo ( message : 'A default message from Ant.' )
otherStuff ( )
}
target ( otherStuff : 'A target to do some other stuff' ) {
println ( 'OtherStuff' )
echo ( message : 'Another message from Ant.' )
clean ( )
}
setDefaultTarget ( stuff )

...
Gant provides a way of finding what the documented targets are:
| Code Block |
|---|
| > gant -p
clean Action the cleaning.
clobber Action the clobbering. Do the cleaning first.
otherStuff A target to do some other stuff
stuff A target to do some stuff.
Default target is stuff.
