Ant and Visual SourceSafe

[Giri Alwar <ga...@str.com>]

Has anyone had any luck getting files from Visual Source Safe using the optional "VssGet" task in Ant 1.1 (you need to get optional.jar to run this task)? Although I have optional.jar in my classpath, Ant keeps telling me that it cannot find a task called VssGet. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try <vssget> instead of <VssGet>?

This build file works correctly in my system.

<project name="compilaSMS" default="compile" basedir=".">
  <target name="init">
    <property name="javadir" value="src"/>
    <property name="classdir" value="src"/>
    <property name="SMSjar" value="d:\progetti\sms\jar"/>
  </target>
  <target name="vss" depends="init">
    <vssget vsspath="/webedit/src" localpath="${javadir}" recursive="true"
       ssdir="D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\VSS\win32"/>
  </target>
  <target name="compile" depends="init">
    <javac srcdir="${javadir}" destdir="${classdir}" debug="on">
      <classpath>
	...
      </classpath>
    </javac>
  </target>
  <target name="getandcompile" depends="vss, compile"/>
</project>

In the %ant_home%\bin I put optional.jar.

I use standard ant.bat file for WinNT, that automatically puts all jar file
found in %ant_home%\lib in the classpath used to start ant.

That's all, I think.
