Better looking into this I am trying to implement a much simpler solution: I have changed the ant svninfo task to create a svninfo.xml file with all SVN info. It looks like this: -------------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <info> <entry kind="dir" path="." revision="740301"> <url>https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/trunk</url> <repository> <root>https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf</root> <uuid>13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68</uuid> </repository> <wc-info> <schedule>normal</schedule> </wc-info> <commit revision="740301"> <author>buscob</author> <date>2009-02-03T13:26:11.171854Z</date> </commit> </entry> </info> --------------------------------------------------------------------
I need now the ant task to extract the entry revision (and may be the url) attributes from this file and append it into a simple text file that is included in the footer.ftl Does somebody know how to have an ant task read a tag attribute and then write it to a textfile?
