<h2>Starteam</h2>

<h3>Description</h3>

Checks out files from a StarTeam project.

<p>
The <i>includes</i> and <i>excludes</i> attributes function differently from
other tasks in Ant.  Multiple patters must be seperated by spaces, not
commas.  See the examples for more information.</p>

<p>
This program makes use of functions from the StarTeam API.  As a result
this task is only available to licensed users of StarTeam.  You must have
<CODE>starteam-sdk.jar</CODE> in your classpath to run this task.
For more information about the StarTeam API and how to license it, see
the <a href="http://www.starbase.com">StarBase</a> web site.</p>

<h3>Examples</h3>

<pre>
  &lt;starteam servername="STARTEAM" 
            serverport="49201"
            projectname="AProject" 
            viewname="AView"
            username="auser"
            password="secret"
            targetfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
  /&gt;
</pre>

The minimum necessary to check out files out from a StarTeam server.  This will
check out all files in the <i>AView</i> view of the <i>AProject</i> project to
<code>C:\dev\buildtest\co</code>.

<pre>
  &lt;starteam servername="STARTEAM" 
            serverport="49201"
            projectname="AProject" 
            viewname="AView"
            username="auser"
            password="secret"
            targetfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
            foldername="\Dev"
            excludes="*.bak *.old"
            force="true"
  /&gt;
</pre>

This will checkout all files from the <i>Dev</i> folder and below that do not
end in <i>.bak</i> or <i>.old</i>.  The force flag will cause any existing files to be
overwritten by the version in StarTeam.

<pre>
  &lt;starteam servername="STARTEAM" 
            serverport="49201"
            projectname="AProject" 
            viewname="AView"
            username="auser"
            password="secret"
            targetfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
            includes="*.htm *.html"
            excludes="index.*"
  /&gt;
</pre>


This is an example of overlapping <i>includes</i> and <i>excludes</i> attributes.  Because
<i>excludes</i> takes precedence over <i>includes</i>, files named <code>index.html</code> will
not be checked out by this command.


<pre>
 &lt;starteam servername="STARTEAM" 
            serverport="49201"
            projectname="AProject" 
            viewname="AView"
            username="auser"
            password="secret"
            targetfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
            usesDefaultFolder="false"
  /&gt;
</pre>
<br>
<pre>
 &lt;starteam servername="STARTEAM" 
            serverport="49201"
            projectname="AProject" 
            viewname="AView"
            username="auser"
            password="secret"
            targetfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
            usesDefaultFolder="true"
  /&gt;
</pre>

In the preceding two examples, assuming that the AProject project has a default folder of
"AProject", the first example will check the files out to a tree rooted at C:\dev\buildtest\co 
and the second will check them out to a tree rooted at C:\dev\buildtest\co\AProject.
