Description

In order to encourage adoption of Gant by my development team, an eclipse plugin similar to the Ant plugin for eclipse would be a prerequisite. Being able to run Gant targets by clicking in an eclipse view, as the team do when running ant build files, as opposed to having to switch between their ide and the command line to run targets which they would have to currently do with Gant, would be an essential requirement to potential transition and adoption.

What this issue needs is someone who knows something about Eclipse plugins to create an initial something that works, even if it is very primitive. This can then act as a focus for further work by all and sundry. Unfortunately, I don't know the first thing about Eclipse plugins and have no idea where to start.

I've been thinking about this as well, and I completely agree. I think the place to start would be to take the current Ant plugin in Eclipse, copy the UI, make it dependent on both the Ant and Groovy plugins, include the Gant library, and modify the UI to be appropriate to Gant rather than Ant.

The Ant plugin provides everything you'd want from a standpoint of integration with a build system, and it doesn't seem like it should be too much effort to tweak it to suit Gant.

No-one has picked this up in 2.5 years so lowering the priority.

That is correct, no-one has stepped forward to progress this.

I guess now that the VMWare/SpringSource folk are beginning to look at integrating Gradle with Eclipse, everyone is waiting for that.
