Description

The groovyc ant task is typically used in build environments. Commonly in such environments the build will have access to the complete set of source files to compile and can easily pass those in to the ant task. For this reason, the ant task has been optimized not to search for source files by default. However there are scenarios where searching is desirable and we need a way to configure that.
