Eclipse Debugging: Ant and Groovy

[Steve Amerige <St...@sas.com>]

Hi all,

I have two files: *build.xml *and *doit.groovy *as shown below.  In Eclipse (Helios 3.6.2) with Groovy-Eclipse plugins 
(2.6.1.xx.02120118-1300-e36-M1), I have a breakpoint set on the *println *in the *doit.groovy*.  I do:

     build.xml > Debug As > Ant Build

But, the breakpoint is never hit and execution completes without stopping.  Can anyone figure out how to get Eclipse to stop at the 
breakpoint in the groovy code?

By the way, I did read:

     http://www.vitorrodrigues.com/blog/2009/07/10/debugging-ant-tasks-in-eclipse/

to try to debug scriptdef (groovy) code, but the above doesn't work.

Enjoy,

*build.xml:*

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <project name="testTemplate" default="main" basedir=".">
    <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml"/>
    <taskdef name="groovy" classname="org.codehaus.groovy.ant.Groovy"/>

    <target name="main">
    <antdoit>
    <echo message="inside antdoit"/>
    </antdoit>
    </target>

    <macrodef name="antdoit">
    <element name="body" implicit="true"/>
    <sequential>
    <antdoit-internal>
    <sequential>
    <body/>
    </sequential>
    </antdoit-internal>
    </sequential>
    </macrodef>

    <scriptdef name="antdoit-internal" id="doit" language="groovy" src="doit.groovy">
    <element name="sequential" classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Sequential"/>
    <![CDATA[
        groovydoit()
    ]]>
    </scriptdef>

    </project>


*doit.groovy:*

    import org.apache.tools.ant.Task

    def groovydoit()
    {
         Task body = (Task) elements.get("sequential").get(0)
         println body.dump() // breakpoint set here
    }

The Ant Eclipse plugin and the Groovy Eclipse plugin doesn't know each other, I don't think there's way to make it work properly.
Maybe on the groovy eclipse plugin user mailing list [1] some may have some better ideas.
