\"svn-tasks-with-ant\"<\/p>\n

This post is about using ANT to perform some of the most common source-control related tasks such as export, tagging, and branching. I am using ANT version 1.7.0 and SVN Ant version 1.1-rc3, bound against Subversion 1.4.0.<\/p>\n

The related software can be downloaded here:
\n1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SVN Ant = http:\/\/subclipse.tigris.org\/svnant.html<\/a>
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ANT = http:\/\/ant.apache.org\/<\/a>
\nI shall start with build.properties, which lists a few key\/value pairs used in our SVN Ant task build file, referred as svn-tasks.xml:<\/p>\n

Content of build.properties:<\/b>
\n####START of SVN Properties ####
\nsvn.repository.url=http:\/\/xyz.com\/repos\/somereponame
\nsvn.project.base.path=someprojectname
\nsvn.username=user name to access repo
\nsvn.password=password to access repo
\n#This shall be name of the tag,
\n#This property should always be updated before build starts
\n#This property shall be used to export
\ntag.name=SOME_TAG_NAME_12222008
\n#This shall be name of new branch,
\n#this property should be used only when new branch is to be created
\nnew.branch.name=NEW_BRANCH_12222008
