How to use ANT API?
Hello,
I have a problem working with ANT API. Inorder to extract files from CVS I'm using ANT API. I made use of the AbstractCvsTask class and I created connections and necessary actions by making use of the methods, setCvsroot(),setPackage(),setDest(),setCommand(). I used execute() method to execute the CVS command but I got a NULL pointer exception at that method. Can anybody help me in finding a way out. Or please provide me with suitable sample code in accessing CVS through Java.
Thanks in advance,
Narayana.

Have you tried it with a build.xml yet? I've never tried using the api directly from java code. I have successfully used ant to access cvs via scripts successfully. See how they are doing it.

How to use ANT API
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I tried using the build.xml. It even worked for me. I have a requirement where in I need to work with ANT API inorder to extract files from CVS. The requirement is that I need to extract files where the file name is my input and it comes dynamically. Is there any way out in doing the above task ? If we can provide the file name dynamically to the build.xml then my problem will be solved.
Thanks in advance,

ant can use property files. You can create that dynamically then all ant that and the build script.

How to use ANT API
I'll give you a clear idea of my task and please suggest a preferable solution for this one.
I need to extract files from CVS using ant. The files I need to extract are the ones "which are only modified between the versions " . For that I used "cvsTagDiff" tag in ANT and I got the file names list into another xml file. Now I need to read each file name from the new xml file and extract those files from the CVS. For this, I planned to develop a java program and execute it using ant itself. Is there any suggestable way for this task?
Thanks in advance for the response...
