how to reference a command line argument inside ant script
I want to create a target in my build.xml file for getting a tagged revision
of code out of CVS, with the user specifying the revision name on the
command line.
i.e.
ant cvsrev build-24
My question is how do I access the argument "build-24" within the build.xml
file.
<!-- check for required environment variable prior to doing anything -->
<target name="init.cvs" unless="osEnv.CVSROOT">
<fail message="To use ANT CVS you must have CVSROOT defined"/>
</target>
<target name="cvsrev" depends="init.cvs">
<!-- cvs -q checkout -P -r revision-name module -->
<cvs command="-q checkout -P -r revision-name ${ant.project.name}"/>
</target>
What should be "revision-name" be replaced with?

I was actually hoping for something more user friendly. I'm trying to get
our QA dept to get the source for a project from cvs and then build it. The
build part is easy with ant, but the cvs stuff I always seem to have to
resort to yet another script that I have to maintain on 3 platforms.
Oh, well...

Doh. I think I need to get to bed earlier. Here is what it really
should be
ant cvsrev -Drevision-name="build-24".
Also, revision-name in the target should be replaced with ${revision-name}

You'd use
ant mytarg -Dcvsrev="build-24".
Then revision-name would be replaced with ${revision-name}
