Groovy And Your Build

About this Presentation

There are numerous roles that Groovy may play in your build process to greatly simplify the management of the build while bringing more capabilities. This session will detail a lot of the things that Groovy can do to improve your build and lessen the amount of effort you spend on your build.

Of all the places that Groovy may help your application, the build is one that is often overlooked but there are really fantastic reasons that the build is a great place for Groovy to be. The build isn't part of your deliverable application so introducing new technology there is much easier than it might be in other areas. Introduce Groovy into your build and let your team develop their Groovy expertise there. That is a great way to discover and take advantage of the great power that Groovy has to offer. After teams appreciate that power they are in a great position to start taking advantage of that power in the application itself.

This session will details many ways that Groovy can help with your build including integrating Groovy with Ant, JUnit, Gant, Code Coverage Reports, Continuous Integration Servers and others.
