There are a few logging statements in Groovyc and GroovycTask. But very little is above the info level. There is a "verbose" flag. Nothing in Groovyc.java itself is using that before logging. Maybe a quick comparison to the Javac Ant Task to show which logging is hidden under the verbose option. Or which logging is info versus debug.

Hi, The groovyc ant task (org.codehaus.groovy.ant.Groovyc) is quite noicy printing the classpath etc. when invoked. Some Ant tasks have a quiet option that silences the non-error output which would be nice here. Even though it is possible to do def ant = new AntBuilder() ant.taskdef(name: 'groovyc', classname: 'org.codehaus.groovy.ant.Groovyc') def listener = ant.getBuildListeners().firstElement() def oldLevel = listener.getMessageOutputLevel() listener.setMessageOutputLevel(1) ant.groovyc( srcdir: 'src/test/groovy', destdir: 'out/testClasses', classpath: 'testPath', targetBytecode: "21" ) listener.setMessageOutputLevel(oldLevel) I think it would be nicer to be able to just do ant.groovyc( srcdir: 'src/test/groovy', destdir: 'out/testClasses', classpath: 'testPath', targetBytecode: "21" quiet: true ) Would it be acceptable if I submitted a PR for adding a quiet parameter to the groovyc task? Best regards, Per
