Bug 93245 – starteam tasks missing from ant and/or ant-tasks

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description S Suehs 2005-05-19 13:16:16 UTC]

The StarTeam task stcheckout is not built and installed into ANT_HOME/lib when
emerging ant-tasks.  I checked useflags and I don't see a -nostarteam flag.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
execute an antscript with an stcheckout task
Actual Results:  
stcheckout task not found.  Standard "This is not an Ant bug and don't bother us
about your lack of ant-fu" blurb.

Expected Results:  
Should have downloaded a project from starteam.

seems that this is only commercially available, a 30 day trial version can be
downloaded for free. no real way to test it. i dont think that we should support
that since there wont be to much people who benefit from that i guess. it's not
even opensource.

If you make an ebuild for it, we can probably put this in the experimental java
tree.

Yes...StarTeam is proprietary.
The ant task is not, and it currently is provided by ant.
As for testing it, I volunteer, as I am having to use it at work, and, since 
the ant task for starteam is not included, I have to download and build ant 
separately.

does it need the starteam to build the task?

[Comment 5 Thomas Matthijs (RETIRED) 2005-09-10 06:57:41 UTC]

with the new ant-tasks ebuild i'm about to commit you can just copy the 
starteam.jar to /usr/share/ant-core/lib/(=$ANT_HOME/lib) and it will pick it up 
when building ant-task and build the task

I think this solution is best and acceptable, since we cannot(/wont) package 
starteam
