Response to: Jython instad of Ant


Yes, I like the idea of using a real language to script builds. Too many times I've hit problems I couldn't accomplish in Ant.

Has anyone had experience calling Ant tasks from Jython? If it is easy to call Ant tasks, then it would be easy to convert existing build.xml files Jython. Providing a good migration path from Ant to Jython is needed.
