Hi Mike,
Maybe this question is off-topic, but do
you know how I could automate the task
of fetching a specific version from cvs
using ant and a simple script? Do I need
to go further than the common ant tasks?
Cheers,
Gian Franco Casula

The <cvs> Ant task is a core task, described at:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/cvs.html
If you have a tag or a date, you can check out files relative to those markers.
Hope that's what you were looking for. If not, please ask again.
Mike

Not at all Gian. Any questions or topics on build tools is fair game.

And if you don't want to hardcode the version, you can read it from a properties file or query the user (using the property or input task, respectively).
