http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15729 StarTeam rootLocalFolder should be java.io.File ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-04-03 22:29 ------- It is a little bit more complicated than you are making it out to be, but not much. The problem is that there is another "default" behavior with StarTeam - the default behavior of checking out the the "default folder" registered in the StarTeam GUI. Admittedly, this is of dubious utility with ant. I, for one, don't see the use for it, have never used it, and in fact, got involved with this project primarily to make it possible to get away from it. But this is what the task currently does when NO rootLocalFolder is specified. Under your proposed change, this would change to a default of basedir. I could change this along the lines that you are suggesting, while allowing for this possibility as follows: 1. I could make relative paths default to being calculated from basedir. 2. Absolute paths would continue to be treated as such. 3. no rootlocalfolder specified would equate to basedir. 4. I could accomodate the "default folder" use case by adding yet another parameter to the task. This might break a few existing usages, but as I said, I think this usecase is of limited utility with ant. I rather think I will implement this based on your comments. Conceptual unity with the rest of ant is an important advantage. Further Comments?
