Eclipse Debugging: Ant and Groovy

[Steve Amerige]

Hi all,

I have two files: *build.xml *and *doit.groovy *as shown below.  In Eclipse (Helios 3.6.2) with Groovy-Eclipse plugins 
(2.6.1.xx.02120118-1300-e36-M1), I have a breakpoint set on the *println *in the *doit.groovy*.  I do:

    build.xml > Debug As > Ant Build

But, the breakpoint is never hit and execution completes without stopping.  Can anyone figure out how to get Eclipse to stop at the 
breakpoint in the groovy code?

By the way, I did read:

    
http://www.vitorrodrigues.com/blog/2009/07/10/debugging-ant-tasks-in-eclipse/

to try to debug scriptdef (groovy) code, but the above doesn't work.

Enjoy,
