Getting directory listing from SVN for use in ANT dropdown

Question

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. Develope

Answer 1

Rather than trying to build something in Java why not generate your ANTForm configuration file using XLST, based on the XML output produced by the standard subversion client:

svn list --xml http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ant/ivy/core/tags > releases.xml

Produces the following releases.xml file (I've edited it for clarity):

  
    
      1.4.1
      ..
    
    
      2.0.0
      ..
    
  

Example

Example is comprised of two files

• genGUI.xml
• genGUI.xsl

Run as follows:

ant -f genGUI.xml

genGUI.xml

genGUI.xsl

    

    ${env.ANTFORM_HOME}

    
        

            

            
                
            

            
                

                
                    Form is generated from subversion
