           Summary: StarTeam checkout task does not support Promotion State
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.5
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Optional SCM tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: paul.coste@staples.com


The StarTeam checkout task does not support checkout by promotion state.  In 
StarTeam (as of version 4.2), the Promotion State is an object which allows 
you to have a dynamic pointer to a build label.  Common names for promotion 
states are "Unit Test Ready" or "Integration Test Ready" etc.  Using promotion 
states is the best way to use StarTeam in a consistent manner, since you don't 
have to keep updating your Ant script or Properties files to include a 
specific build number.  The code from this Ant task is simply missing the 
necessary methods and parameters to check out by promotion state.  I have 
created an alternate version of these tasks and would like to submit them for 
inclusion in the next Ant release.  I have been a StarTeam user for 9 years 
and a StarTeam SDK developer for over 7 years.  I will be testing the changes 
that I have created and will attach them to this case.
