Add this to the top of your Gant script to use this as an include:
includeTargets << grailsScript("_GrailsBootstrap")Once this is in place you can bootstrap Grails using either of these methods:

After running
loadApp the
GrailsApplication instance will be available as the
grailsApp variable:
loadApp()
for (grailsClass in grailsApp.allClasses) { println grailsClass }After running
configureApp the
GrailsPluginManager instance will be available as the
pluginManager variable and the Spring
ApplicationContext instance will be available as the
appCtx variable:
configureApp()
Connection c = appCtx.getBean('dataSource').getConnection()
// do something with connectionDescription
