Class Pvcs

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Cloneable

    public class Pvcs
extends Task
    Extracts the latest edition of the source code from a PVCS repository. PVCS is a version control system developed by Merant.

    Before using this tag, the user running ant must have access to the commands of PVCS (get and pcli) and must have access to the repository. Note that the way to specify the repository is platform dependent so use property to specify location of repository.

    This version has been tested against PVCS version 6.5 and 6.6 under Windows and Solaris. 19-04-2001

    The task now has a more robust parser. It allows for platform independent file paths and supports file names with (). Thanks to Erik Husby for bringing the bug to my attention. 27-04-2001

    UNC paths are now handled properly. Fix provided by Don Jeffery. He also added an UpdateOnly flag that, when true, conditions the PVCS get using the -U option to only update those files that have a modification time (in PVCS) that is newer than the existing workfile. 25-10-2002

    Added a revision attribute that currently is a synonym for label, but in a future release the behavior of the label attribute will change to use the -v option of GET. See bug #13847 for discussion.

      • execute

        public void execute()
             throws BuildException
        Description copied from class: Task
        Called by the project to let the task do its work. This method may be called more than once, if the task is invoked more than once. For example, if target1 and target2 both depend on target3, then running "ant target1 target2" will run all tasks in target3 twice.
        Overrides:
        execute in class Task
        Throws:
        BuildException - Something is stopping the build...

        String

      • getFilenameFormat

        public java.lang.String getFilenameFormat()
        The filenameFormat attribute defines a MessageFormat string used to parse the output of the pcli command. It defaults to {0}-arc({1}). Repositories where the archive extension is not -arc should set this.

        Parameters:
        f - the format to use.

      • getLineStart

        public java.lang.String getLineStart()
        The lineStart attribute is used to parse the output of the pcli command. It defaults to "P:. The parser already knows about / and \\, this property is useful in cases where the repository is accessed on a Windows platform via a drive letter mapping.
        Returns:
        the lineStart attribute.

      • setLineStart

        public void setLineStart(java.lang.String l)
        What a valid return value from PVCS looks like when it describes a file. Defaults to "P:. If you are not using an UNC name for your repository and the drive letter P is incorrect for your setup, you may need to change this value, UNC names will always be accepted.
        Parameters:
        l - the value to use.

      • setRepository

        public void setRepository(java.lang.String repo)

        Workspace to use; optional. By specifying a workspace, the files are extracted to that location. A PVCS workspace is a name for a location of the workfiles and isn't as such the location itself. You define the location for a workspace using the PVCS GUI clients.

If this attribute isn't specified the tag expects the executables to be found using the PATH environment variable.
        Parameters:
        bin - PVCS bin directory
        To do:
        use a File setter and resolve paths.
