Ant for eclipse - access eclipse configurations from within ant

<cvsGetProjectSet>

Scope: All Project Types

Description

Use the cvsGetProjectSet task to automatically check out all projects defined in a team project set.

The cvsGetProjectSet requires the name of a Team Project Set file and a destination directory into which the projects will be checked out. Furthermore you need to specify a username and a password for CVS. Ant4eclipse then checks out all projects listed in the file in the version / from the branch that is mentioned in the file.

Arguments

Argument	Description	Required
workspace	Path to the workspace	yes
projectset	Project Set File that defines the projects to be checked out	yes
cvsUser	User for CVS-connection	yes
cvsPwd	Password for CVS-connection	yes
command	Determine whether the project set should be checked out, updated or exported	yes

The cvsGetProjectSet-Tasks takes a command argument that detemines how a project will be received from the CVS repository:

checkout: Checks out the complete projects from CVS ( cvs co)
update: Updates the projects: receive/remove changed files only ( cvs update)
export: Like checkout, but removes the CVS directories, so the checked out projects have no connection to CVS anymore ( cvs export)

Examples

The following example shows how to checkout projects defined in a team project set.


  <target name="checkout-psf">

    <!-- Check out the contents of "myProjectSet.psf"
         into the directory "${workspace.dir}" -->

    <cvsGetProjectSet cvsUser="myCvsUserId"
                      CvsPwd="myCvsPassword"
                      command="checkout"
                      projectSet="myProjectSet.psf"
                      workspace="${workspace.dir}">

  </target>
