Hi Alexander,
i’am not in the process off building an artifact in multiple phase(not a build file), but more to create rich admin shell,
in fact i combines the powerful python cmd module and you pant module to do some install script and admin console
ex(download template conf file from svn,install tomcat+apache,apply filter to template)
or from the shell (start the server,stop a cluster branch etc..)

it looks like more the WAS6 jython scripting shell wsadmin , but cost 0 and work with tomcat ;)
for my compilation i use maven for now
i migrate from ivy to maven recently (pressure of the market) and now i regret….

regards
Marc

Hi Godin,
I’m glad you liked it. I’m wondering how are you dealing with targets. From my experience, creating coarse-grained targets and then invoking PAnt script from those targets (as opposed to using Jython to drive Ant, which you can certainly do) gives the best of both world - declarative nature of Ant targets and the power of Python.

Cheers.

Hi,
i love you pant module !!, i have added
this lines from the groovy antbuilder
def createDummyProject():
project =Project();
project.init();
logger = DefaultLogger();
logger.setOutputPrintStream( System.out );
logger.setErrorPrintStream( System.out );
logger.setMessageOutputLevel( Project.MSG_INFO );
project.addBuildListener( logger );
return project;

and now i’am able to do ant without a single xml line ;)
Regards an thanks for youir blog
