I’m not sure about that – the best way to find it out is to try.

NetBeans generates project *.jar file, so for a simple situation is it enough just to add ?

classpath=”dist/lib/groovy-all-1.1-rc-2-SNAPSHOT.jar”

I installed a groovy plug-in for NetBeans. It imports following ant task to the project build-impl.xml: So, as I see, I need to add another element to with project classpath...

I’ve never worked with NetBeans so I may be wrong.

Did I get you right: you have a NetBeans project with classpath that is already set up. You need to extract a classpath from autogenerated build file and use it with your groovy shell?

Try searching for the classpath property name in the build-impl.xml then import all this file into the new one and start groovy from there. Use ant’s “import” directive. In this way you’ll leave original file intact still you’ll use it’s properties.

I’ve never done things like this with groovy though.

Could you please give any hints on how to get access to java classes from a NetBeans project (in order to make other work with groovy, for example)?
NetBeans uses Ant as building shell so we need to get java classpath from the corresponding build-impl.xml and force to make it available when groovy starts…

Dave, unfortunately buildr can be used by ruby-programmers only.
Unlike Groovy, that is easy undestandable for any Java developer.

Bleh to Maven2. Much prefer script builders. If you want something very strutured like M2 but with script flexibility you can also try Buildr.
