Ant/rake integration - supported?

Hi all,

anyone using ant/rake integration in anger?
Trying to use , it seems broken out of the box, basically
DOA
on current releases (ant integration: rakeimport throws NilClass · Issue #1656 · jruby/jruby · GitHub)

This looks like a neat approach for extending/reusing a large ant xml
legacy - just wondering if it’s still a supported/recommended feature…
or
shall I look into some alternative? (e.g BuildR, Gradle)
I read Tom’s -great- 2010 blog entry (
https://blog.engineyard.com/2010/rake-and-ant-together-a-pick-it-n-stick-it-approach)

  • but is that still the best doc available?

Thanks!

I’ve definitely used the ant/rake integration , though not rakeimport.
Highly recommend the Using JRuby
bookhttp://pragprog.com/book/jruby/using-jruby for
learning more about it.
