anttrap 0.01

The AntTrap Ruby Gem ==================== A tiny Gem that can generate an Apache Ant build file from a Rakefile. This allows for a developer to work in Rake, but integrate with any tool that supports Ant. The generated build file simply calls exec on the selected Rake task. As of 8/9/2011, the only tool I have tested so far is Eclipse. Sample rakefile --- require 'anttrap' AntTrap.antproject="RakeFile #{Time.new}" AntTrap.rake = '/usr/bin/rake' AntTrap.rakeargs = ["-v"] desc "The Bar task" task :Bar do puts "Bar!" end desc "The Foo Task" task :Foo do puts "Hello world" end Sample Generated Ant Build File --- Generating an Ant Build File --- rake AntTrap Using the Ant Build file in an IDE --- Simply use the Ant build file in your favorite IDE like you always have. Each time you modify the rakefile, be sure to run "rake AntTrap" (or just run the AntTrap task from your IDE). Whenever you the build.xml file is generated, the Ant file will need to be refreshed in your IDE. In Eclipse, right click in the Ant view and select "Refresh Buildfiles".
