Can I call the MKS CLI commands automatically by putting them in my build.xml file? I am trying to automate aspects of the build process using the mkstask.jar and mksapi.jar files and would like to be able to configure my build.xml file so that it will automatically connect to the integrity server and make those commands. Is this possible? Upon looking at the CLI reference guide, it seems like they must directly be typed into the command line terminal since the commands are always listed like so:
im connect [--hostname=value] [--port=value] [--password=value] [--user=value] [(-?|--usage)] [(-F file|--selectionFile=file)] [(-N|--no)] [(-Y|--yes)] [--[no]batch] [--cwd=directory] [--forceConfirm=[yes|no]] [(-g|--gui)] [--quiet] [--settingsUI=[gui|default]] [--status=[none|gui|default]]
however, upon viewing some documentation on the ant task, it seems as though these commands could be put in the build.xml file and automatically invoked like in this example:
The MKS Source command "si co --lock --cpid=1:1 file1.txt file2.txt" can be run as:
Using the general <command> tag:
<mks>
<command application="si" command="co" >
<options>
<option name="lock"/>
<option name="cpid">1:1</option>
</options>
<selections>
<selection>file1.txt</selection>
<selection>file2.txt</selection>
<selections>
</command>
</mks>
For example, I'm thinking to use the connect cli command, I would list the user, port, hostname, and port as options and enter in their values in the xml file like so:
<taskdef name="mks" classpath="${mkstask.jar};${mksapi.jar}" classname="mks.integrations.apache.ant.MKSTask" />
<mks>
<command application="im" command="connect">
<options>
<option name="hostname">myserver</option>
<option name="port">val</option>
<option name="user">myuser</option>
<option name="password">mypass</option>
</options>
</command>
</mks>
I'm new to ant, software builds, and xml so I apologize if this is a silly question. Thanks in advance.
