                | Gant is a build tool for scripting Ant tasks using Groovy code instead of XML to specify the build logic. A Gant build specification is just a Groovy script and so can bring all the power of Groovy to bear directly, something not possible with Ant scripts.  | 
            
        
        Go To Gant
        
    
        
        
            
                | It is a set of plugins that provide a highly enriched integration of the Groovy language into Maven 2. | 
            
        
        Go To Groovy Maven 2 Integration
        
    
        
        
            
                | Maven Tools for Grails is a set of maven artifacts used to ease the building/development of Grails Application using maven 2. | 
            
        
        Go To Maven Tools for Grails
        
            
                
        
        
    
                
        
    
            
        
    
        
        
            
                | Alex incorporates convention based builds with easy extensibility. Alex also supports a DSL, which gets rid of the xml clutter offered by most build systems.

                |  Gradle is a build system which provides:
    * A very flexible general purpose build tool like Ant.
    * Switchable, build-by-convention frameworks a la Maven (for Java and Groovy projects).
    * Powerful support for multi-project builds.
    * Powerful dependency management (based on Apache Ivy).
    * Full support for your existing Maven or Ivy repository infrastructure.
    * Support for transitive dependency management without the need for remote repositories and pom.xml or ivy.xml files (optional).
    * Ant tasks as first class citizens.
    * Groovy build scripts.
