Hi ANT experts :-)
I've done some Googling on this but I can't seem to find anything along the lines of what I'm needing.
I'm using ANTForms for the GUI on our deployment. Developers can choose the build from the dynamically populated dropdown, hit ok and away it goes.
The way the dropdown is dynamically populated at the moment is by ANT making an HTTP webservice call to our ColdFusion server giving it a list of needed SVN directories. CF then uses a bit of underlining Java to call SVNKit and return a query result for CF to process. It converts this to a comma-separated list, outputs it for ANT and it then builds these dropdowns options.
I'm using CF because that's our main language. I don't really know any Java but what's bugging me a bit here is if I did I know I could get ANT to talk to Java / SVNKit directly and therefore cut CF out the picture completely. It would probably also remove the need for the HTTP call as the SVN setup is local so a speed increase is there + it takes out the reliance on a external source.
Has anyone done this or do you know any working examples I could see that show ANT talking to SVNKit directly to do this kind of thing?
I had a look at the usual SVN ANT tasks over at Subclipse but they don't have any way of doing this.
Any help appreciated, James
