One could also do:
<script language="jython">
from java.io import File
class _Method:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
def __call__(self, **args):
t = project.createTask(self.name)
for a in args.keys():
m = "set" + a[0].upper() + a[1:]
getattr(t, m)(args[a])
t.execute()
class Ant:
def __getattr__(self, name):
return _Method(name)
ant = Ant()
ant.echo(message = "hello world")
ant.delete(quiet = 1, dir = File("todir"))
ant.mkdir(dir = File("todir"))
ant.touch(file=File("fromfile"))
ant.copy(file = File("fromfile"), todir=File("todir"))
</script>
