ADF BC & Faces: Automating Builds

Question

Hi all,
With the tips I've been recieving in regarding SVN, I'm happy to say we have this up and running within our group. In my past experience at a different company developing open source j2EE desktop apps, we had a CVS repository hooked up with a continous build tool called Cruise Control. This tool allowed the developers to continously check in their code and have it compiled right away. Any build failures would result in an email sent to that developer notifying the event. Are there anyone working with ADF BC&Faces using such a tool for their integration process?
Thanks,
Z

zeoneozero -
1. svn.classpath is just the path id for loading these jars. You use that path id again in the pullSource target.
2. Just use cc-build.xml - this is the build file specific to cruise control.
3. Examples:
cc-build.xml:
<project name="cc-build" default="ccBuild" basedir="checkout">
<property file="../build.properties" />
<path id="project.classpath">
<pathelement location="${svnjavahl.jar}" />
<pathelement location="${svnant.jar}" />
<pathelement location="${svnClientAdapter.jar}" />
</path>
<!-- load the svn task -->
<taskdef resource="svntask.properties" classpathref="project.classpath"/>
<target name="pullSource">
<svn username="${svnant.repository.user}" password="${svnant.repository.passwd}">
<checkout url="${svnant.latest.url}" revision="HEAD" destPath="src" />
</svn>
</target>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="src" />
</target>
<target name="extractBuildNumber"
description="Generate the build number from the supplied build label">
<script language="javascript">
<![CDATA[
fullLabel = project.getProperty("label");
buildNumber = fullLabel.substring(6,fullLabel.length());
project.setProperty("buildNumber",buildNumber);
]]>
</script>
<echo message="Using build number from build system ${buildNumber}"/>
</target>
<target name="invokeBuildAll">
<ant antfile="build.xml" dir="src/Model/Ant" target="buildAll"/>
<delete>
<fileset dir="../buildOutput" includes="**/*.zip"/>
</delete>
<copy todir="../buildOutput">
<fileset dir="src/Model/Ant/Output"/>
</copy>
</target>
<target name="ccBuild" depends="clean, pullSource, extractBuildNumber, invokeBuildAll">
</target>
</project>
build.properties:
# build.properties
# This file is referenced by the sample build.xml file.
svnant.version=1.0.0
# all jar needed
lib.dir=C:\\software\\CruiseControl\\apache-ant-1.6.5\\lib
svnant.jar=${lib.dir}/svnant.jar
svnClientAdapter.jar=${lib.dir}/svnClientAdapter.jar
svnjavahl.jar=${lib.dir}/svnjavahl.jar
svnant.latest.url=svn://hostname/svnrepos/projectname
svnant.repository.user=guest
svnant.repository.passwd=""
# values to override the checked in build.properties with those used on the CC machine
jdeveloper.home=C:\\software\\JDev
temp.dir=c:\\temp

Hope this helps,
