Enable verbose output from groovy's AntBuilder

Question

Is there a way to turn debug/verbose output on for groovy's AntBuilder? In other words, I want to enable more detailed output like one would get with ant -verbose from the command line.

I know about the recorder task, as described here, but this writes to a file, and I want to write to stdout or possibly a logger (like the one provided for maven plugins written in groovy).

As inspired by the first result from google (rewritten for Groovy conciseness):

ant.project.buildListeners[0].messageOutputLevel = 4

Values are documented here, with 4 being most verbose.

Works great! Apparently my googling skills are lacking today – GreenGiant Feb 28 '13 at 18:56
@GreenGiant the magic google words today were `antbuilder verbose` ;-) – tim_yates Feb 28 '13 at 20:28
thanks. I tried all sorts of things like "log", "debug", etc. :\ – GreenGiant Feb 28 '13 at 21:23
Thank you Tim, to suppress standard AntBuilder output instead similarly use: `ant.project.getBuildListeners().firstElement().setMessageOutputLevel(0)` – Giuseppe Ricupero Oct 27 '16 at 08:14
