public class Groovyc
extends org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.MatchingTask

Compiles Groovy source files using Ant.

Typically involves using Ant from the command-line and an Ant build file such as:

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
 <project name="MyGroovyBuild" default="compile">
   <property name="groovy.home" location="/Path/To/Groovy"/>
   <property name="groovy.version" value="X.Y.Z"/>

   <taskdef name="groovyc" classname="org.codehaus.groovy.ant.Groovyc">
     <classpath>
       <fileset file="${groovy.home}/lib/groovy-${groovy.version}.jar"/>
       <fileset file="${groovy.home}/lib/groovy-ant-${groovy.version}.jar"/>
     </classpath>
   </taskdef>

   <target name="compile" description="compile groovy sources">
     <groovyc srcdir="src" destdir="bin" fork="true" listfiles="true" includeantruntime="false"/>
       <classpath>
         <fileset dir="${groovy.home}/lib" includes="groovy-*${groovy.version}.jar" excludes="groovy-ant-${groovy.version}.jar"/>
       </classpath>
     </groovyc>
   </target>
 </project>

This task can take the following arguments:

srcdir
destdir
sourcepath
sourcepathRef
classpath
classpathRef
scriptExtension
targetBytecode
listfiles
failonerror
proceed
memoryInitialSize
memoryMaximumSize
encoding
verbose
includeantruntime
includejavaruntime
fork
javaHome
executable
updatedProperty
errorProperty
includeDestClasses
jointCompilationOptions
stacktrace
indy
scriptBaseClass
stubdir
keepStubs
forceLookupUnnamedFiles
configscript
parameters

And these nested tasks:

javac

Of these arguments, the srcdir and destdir are required.

When this task executes, it will recursively scan srcdir and destdir looking for Groovy source files to compile. This task makes its compile decision based on timestamp.

A more elaborate build file showing joint compilation:

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
 <project name="MyJointBuild" default="compile">
   <property name="groovy.home" location="/Path/To/Groovy"/>
   <property name="groovy.version" value="X.Y.Z"/>

   <path id="classpath.main">
     <fileset dir="${groovy.home}/lib">
       <include name="groovy-*${groovy.version}.jar"/>
       <exclude name="groovy-ant-${groovy.version}.jar"/>
     </fileset>
   </path>

   <taskdef name="groovyc" classname="org.codehaus.groovy.ant.Groovyc">
     <classpath>
       <fileset file="${groovy.home}/lib/groovy-${groovy.version}.jar"/>
       <fileset file="${groovy.home}/lib/groovy-ant-${groovy.version}.jar"/>
     </classpath>
   </taskdef>

   <target name="clean">
     <delete dir="bin" failonerror="false"/>
   </target>

   <target name="compile" depends="clean" description="compile java and groovy sources">
     <mkdir dir="bin"/>

     <groovyc srcdir="src" destdir="bin" stubdir="stubs" keepStubs="true"
      fork="true" includeantruntime="false" classpathref="classpath.main">
       <javac debug="true" source="1.8" target="1.8"/>
     </groovyc>
   </target>
 </project>

Based on the implementation of the Javac task in Apache Ant.

Can also be used from AntBuilder to allow the build file to be scripted in Groovy.

```
    Gets the keepStubs flag.
    
    Returns:
    
    the keepStubs flag
  - setForceLookupUnnamedFiles
```
public void setForceLookupUnnamedFiles(boolean forceLookupUnnamedFiles)
```
    Set the forceLookupUnnamedFiles flag. Defaults to false.
    The Groovyc Ant task is frequently used in the context of a build system that knows the complete list of source files to be compiled. In such a context, it is wasteful for the Groovy compiler to go searching the classpath when looking for source files and hence by default the Groovyc Ant task calls the compiler in a special mode with such searching turned off. If you wish the compiler to search for source files then you need to set this flag to true.
    
    Parameters:
    
    forceLookupUnnamedFiles - should unnamed source files be searched for on the classpath
  - getForceLookupUnnamedFiles
```
public boolean getForceLookupUnnamedFiles()
```
    Gets the forceLookupUnnamedFiles flag.
    
    Returns:
    
    the forceLookupUnnamedFiles flag
  - setParameters
```
public void setParameters(boolean parameters)
```
    If true, generates metadata for reflection on method parameter names (jdk8+ only). Defaults to false.
    
    Parameters:
    
    parameters - set to true to generate metadata.
  - getParameters
```
public boolean getParameters()
```
    Returns true if parameter metadata generation has been enabled.
  - setPreviewFeatures
```
public void setPreviewFeatures(boolean previewFeatures)
```
    If true, enable preview Java features (JEP 12) (jdk12+ only).
    
    Parameters:
    
    previewFeatures - set to true to enable preview features
  - getPreviewFeatures
```
public boolean getPreviewFeatures()
```
    Returns true if preview features has been enabled.
  - execute
```
public void execute()
             throws org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException
```
    Executes the task.
    
    Overrides:
    
    execute in class org.apache.tools.ant.Task
    
    Throws:
    
    org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException - if an error occurs
  - resetFileLists
```
protected void resetFileLists()
```
    Clear the list of files to be compiled and copied.
  - scanDir
```
protected void scanDir(java.io.File srcDir,
                       java.io.File destDir,
                       java.lang.String[] files)
```
    Scans the directory looking for source files to be compiled. The results are returned in the class variable compileList
    
    Parameters:
    
    srcDir - The source directory
    
    destDir - The destination directory
    
    files - An array of filenames
  - addToCompileList
```
protected void addToCompileList(java.io.File[] newFiles)
```
  - getFileList
```
public java.io.File[] getFileList()
```
    Gets the list of files to be compiled.
    
    Returns:
    
    the list of files as an array
  - checkParameters
```
protected void checkParameters()
                        throws org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException
```
    Throws:
    
    org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException
  - compile
```
protected void compile()
```
  - makeCompileUnit
```
@Deprecated
protected CompilationUnit makeCompileUnit()
```
    Deprecated.
    This method is not in use anymore. Use makeCompileUnit(GroovyClassLoader) instead.
