Using SVN and Eclipse for Groovy development

[François Déchelle]

Hello,

Following the recent discussion on using SVN as a backend for Xwiki, I'd 
like to discuss something symetrical, i.e. to use SVN and Eclipse as a 
front-end. The idea is to write Xwiki pages containing Groovy code in 
Eclipse (or Emacs), store it in SVN and deploy it automatically on an Xwiki.

My idea is to use Ant as a deployment tool, with the Ant POST task for 
instance:

This way, the project can be easily integrated into Eclipse. I'm 
wondering how the Groovy Eclipse plug-in can be used: 
http://groovy.codehaus.org/Eclipse+Plugin
My guess is that the editing part can be usefull, but that running 
Groovy inside Eclipse wont do it for now.

Best,

François
