AntBuilder (groovy 3.0.4 API)

groovy.util.AntBuilder

```
@Deprecated
public class AntBuilder
extends BuilderSupport
```
Allows Ant tasks to be used with a Groovy builder-style markup. Requires that {{ant.jar}} is on your classpath which will happen automatically if you are using the Groovy distribution but will be up to you to organize if you are embedding Groovy. If you wish to use the optional tasks you will need to add one or more additional jars from the ant distribution to your classpath - see the library dependencies for more details.

  - public AntBuilder(Project project, Target owningTarget)
  - public AntBuilder(Task parentTask)
- Method Detail
  - protected static Attributes buildAttributes(Map attributes)
    
    Builds an Attributes from a Map
    Parameters:
    attributes - the attributes to wrap
    Returns:
    the wrapped attributes
  - protected Object createNode(Object tagName)
  - protected Object createNode(Object name, Object value)
  - protected Object createNode(Object name, Map attributes, Object value)
  - protected Object createNode(Object name, Map attributes)
  - protected static Project createProject()
    
    Returns:
    Factory method to create new Project instances
  - protected Object doInvokeMethod(String methodName, Object name, Object args)
    
    We don't want to return the node as created in createNode(Object, Map, Object) but the one made ready by nodeCompleted(Object, Object)

    BuilderSupport.doInvokeMethod
  - public Project getAntProject()
  - public AntXMLContext getAntXmlContext()
    
    Gets the xml context of Ant used while creating tasks
    Returns:
    the Ant xml context
  - public Project getProject()
    
    # Gets the Ant project in which the tasks are executed
    Returns:
    the project
  - public boolean isSaveStreams()
    
    Whether stdin, stdout, stderr streams are saved.
    Returns:
    true if we are saving streams
    See Also:
    setSaveStreams(boolean)
  - protected void nodeCompleted(Object parent, Object node)
    
    Determines, when the ANT Task that is represented by the "node" should perform. Node must be an ANT Task or no "perform" is called. If node is an ANT Task, it performs right after complete construction. If node is nested in a TaskContainer, calling "perform" is delegated to that TaskContainer.
    Parameters:
    parent - note: null when node is root
    node - the node that now has all its children applied
  - protected void setParent(Object parent, Object child)
  - public void setSaveStreams(boolean saveStreams)
    
    Indicates that we save stdin, stdout, stderr and replace them while AntBuilder is executing tasks with streams that funnel the normal streams into Ant's logs.
    Parameters:
    saveStreams - set to false to disable this behavior
  - protected void setText(Object task, String text)
