Some time ago I was experimenting with ANTXras ANT task library that brought several concepts to ant builds such as a logging system, specific variable constructs, and etc. ANTXras is no longer accessible thus we need a replacement.
Certainly I could try Jython or Ruby. But, Groovy allows me to try two different development styles embedding Groovy in ANT or Groovy driving ANT. This should allow me to reduce the complexity of the JavaME Build files that I am developing to something that is more manageable.
