Description

I developped a groovy frontend to ant (not gant, I have integrated groovy in ant rather than the reverse). So I have my builder which extends the AntBuilder. But at some point I need to have access to the ant xml context to setup the current target being parsed.
The workaround is to duplicate the code of the AntBuilder rather than extending it. It would be cool if the ant xml context could be exposed directly in Groovy's API.
