ANT CVS checkout problem

[starrman777]

I have a CVS directory structure like this:

home
dev
myapp
src
com
companyname
(etc... )

I have set up a local src directory

<property name="build" location="build" />
<property name="src" location="${build}/src" />

<mkdir dir="${build}" />
<mkdir dir="${src}" />

I would like to checkout from CVS only the com directory on down so that the local directory structure would be

build
src
com
companyname
(etc... )

Here is what I have so far

<input message="Enter the name of the branch that you want to get from CVS"
addproperty="cvs.branch.name" />

<cvs cvsRoot="${cvs.root}"
package="home/dev/myapp/src/com"
command="checkout -r ${cvs.branch.name}"
dest="${src}"/>


I'm using ANT 1.6.2...

Any ideas?

I put an "illegal word" in my carefully crafted post and it disappeared so I'll try again.

What isn't working? Are you getting errors?

I checked out a subdirectory in eclipse and it used this to put it in the src dir without the project1 and mydir directories:

cvs co -d "src" -P -A "/project1/mydir/src"

In this Guide to cvs commands it sounds like the -d part is what you need to not end up with all the extra directories.

Thank You. Very helpful.

The -d is what I was missing.

Now my checkout command looks like this:
<cvs cvsRoot="${cvs.root}"
package="home/dev/myapp/src/com"
command="checkout -d 'com' -r ${cvs.branch.name}"
dest="${src}"/>

Thanks Again!
Eric
