RE: Re: Java World: Build scripts with Groovy and Ant artcicle

Hello Patrick,

Interesting, I had an idea along the lines that I didn't commit on CVS.
It's a GProperties class which would allow us to do things like:

props = new GProperties("build.properties")
println props.maven.skip.test
props.my.other.prop = 3

But I can't really create new branches, just read, and modify actual values.
I'll have another go at it if you think it's useful.

artcicle


I just started converting some build.xml files to build.groovy.  I 
immediately found that I'd like some of my build properties available as 
Groovy variables, so I now do something like this:

    props = new Properties(System.properties)
    props.load(new FileInputStream('build.properties'))

I should really close the FileInputStream, but this is a build script so 
I don't care that much.

I haven't looked, but it would nice if there was a one-shot addition to 
Properties in the GroovyJDK bits so you could do something like this:

    props = Properties.loadFile('build.properties')

and maybe some others like:

    props = Properties.loadResource(myClass,myResourceName)
    props = Properties.loadStream(inputStream)
