Is there something like AntBuilder from Groovy in Scala?
See:
1. Using Ant from Groovy
2. groovy.util.AntBuilder
We need to execute a lot of Ant targets from several build.xml files in our deployment scripts.
Now we are calling these ant targets from Unix shell scripts and process output from these tasks by awk+sed...
We decided to rewrite these scripts on Groovy.
But if there is the same ability in Scala I would prefer to use Scala instead of Groovy.
UPDATE:
It turns out that in order to start Scala script I need to have scala-compiler.jar and scala-library.jar in classpath.
It is +20MB to our distributive.
In case of Groovy we should add only groovy-all-1.8.4.jar - 6MB.
