ant

my build is a 3 step process. run ant to build. transfer war to server. touch reload file.

I have transfered last two steps in groovy, using antbuilder. However, I am not able to run my existing ant script using groovy.

Usually I run it using the following command in dos prompt:

ant -Dsystem=mysystem -DsomeotherOption=true

from groovy when I try to do

"ant -Dsystem=mysystem -DsomeotherOption=true".execute()

it gives an error saying ant is not a recognized command.

How can I utilize my existing ant script in groovy?
