Well, I tried Ant <input> task from Eclipse 3.0 a month ago and Eclipse gave an error saying cannot read from standard in and so I gave it up. > > So, have your ant login target use the "input" to > accept the password > and then pass it as a parameter to cvs from ant. > CVS login from Ant follows different mechanism: you do not use <cvs command="login"...>; instead you use <cvspass> task in the following manner: <cvspass cvsroot="..." password="..." passfile="...">. The task takes the password attribute, scrambles it and then places in in passfile. Later, when you do some CVS operations in your build file, the password is taken from the passfile and is descrambled. Here is a working example taken from a ant script of mine: <cvspass cvsroot="${product.cvsroot}" password="${product.cvspass}"/> <cvs cvsroot="${product.cvsroot}" command="-Q checkout" package="${product}" dest="${product.dest.dir}"/> <cvs cvsroot="${product.cvsroot}" command="logout"/> HTH Ivan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
