Extracts the latest edition of the source code from a PVCS repository.
PVCS is a version control system
developed by Merant.
Before using this tag, the user running ant must have access to the commands
of PVCS (get and pcli) and must have access to the repository. Note that the way to specify
the repository is platform dependent so use property to specify location of repository.
This version has been tested agains PVCS version 6.5 and 6.6 under Windows and Solaris.

The task now has a more robust
parser. It allows for platform independant file paths
and supports file names with (). Thanks to Erik Husby for
bringing the bug to my attention.

UNC paths are now handled properly.
Fix provided by Don Jeffery. He also added an UpdateOnly flag
that, when true, conditions the PVCS get using the -U option to only
update those files that have a modification time (in PVCS) that is newer
than the existing workfile.

Added a revision attribute that currently is a
synonym for label, but in a future release the behavior of the label
attribute will change to use the -v option of GET. See bug #13847 for
discussion.
runCmd(Commandline cmd, ExecuteStreamHandler out) Run the command.
Parameters: cmd - the command line to use. Parameters: out - the output stream handler to use.
public void
setConfig(File f) Sets a configuration file other than the default to be used.
setPvcsbin(String bin) Specifies the location of the PVCS bin directory; optional if on the PATH.
On some systems the PVCS executables pcli
and get are not found in the PATH.
The filenameFormat attribute defines a MessageFormat string used
to parse the output of the pcli command. It defaults to
{0}-arc({1}). Repositories where the archive
extension is not -arc should set this.
the filename format attribute.
The lineStart attribute is used to parse the output of the pcli
command. It defaults to "P:. The parser already
knows about / and \\, this property is useful in cases where the
repository is accessed on a Windows platform via a drive letter
mapping.
the lineStart attribute.
Sets a configuration file other than the default to be used.
These files have a .cfg extension and are often found in archive or pvcsprop folders.
Parameters: f - config file - can be given absolute or relative to ant basedir
The format of the folder names; optional.
This must be in a format suitable for
java.text.MessageFormat.
Index 1 of the format will be used as the file name.
Defaults to {0}-arc({1}) Parameters: f - the format to use.
Specifies the value of the force argument; optional.
If set to yes all files that exists and are
writable are overwritten. Default no causes the files
that are writable to be ignored. This stops the PVCS command
get to stop asking questions!
Parameters: f - String (yes/no)
What a valid return value from PVCS looks like
when it describes a file. Defaults to "P:.
If you are not using an UNC name for your repository and the
drive letter P is incorrect for your setup, you may
need to change this value, UNC names will always be
accepted.
Parameters: l - the value to use.
Specifies the location of the PVCS bin directory; optional if on the PATH.
On some systems the PVCS executables pcli
and get are not found in the PATH. In such cases this attribute
should be set to the bin directory of the PVCS installation containing
the executables mentioned before. If this attribute isn't specified the
tag expects the executables to be found using the PATH environment variable.
Parameters: bin - PVCS bin directory
Workspace to use; optional.
By specifying a workspace, the files are extracted to that location.
A PVCS workspace is a name for a location of the workfiles and
isn't as such the location itself.
You define the location for a workspace using the PVCS GUI clients.
If this isn't specified the default workspace for the current user is used.
Parameters: ws - String
