Hi Paul,
I've attached the new code that includes the new interface StarTeamLogOnProvider and three implementations classes StarTeamDefaultLogOn, StarTeamAutoLogOn and StarTeamEncryptLogOn. This interface should allow developers to create their own log on mechanisms and plug them into the ANT class path without having to add them to the ANT source/distro. The source code can be downloaded from http://users.tpg.com.au/dkunder/ant-starteam-src.zip and the complied jar file for ANT 1.7.0 can be download from http://users.tpg.com.au/dkunder/ant-starteam.zip. PS. Sorry for the last couple of messages, the corporate mail server wouldn't let any of the files through.

Just to let you know, I've just gone back and read the email from Joe Schulz and it states: As for using my EncryptPassword utility, you are definitely more than welcome to call it within the ANT tasks. If you'd like, I can repackage the required classes in any way that would facilitate the work you're doing. Just let me know if there is anything I can do to help. If I read this correctly he's allowing us to call his package from ANT and if any repackaging is required he will do it for us but he is not making the code available for addition to ANT/apache code base. In saying this I've created an extendable Interface that allows different StarTeam log on methods to be plugged into classpath dynamically. I should have this ready in the next day or so.

Could you please an update to dev@ant.apache.org with what you have tested successfully. What I'd like to see is Borland make the password encryption routine used by BCO available within the SDK removing the need for a separate package altogether. I'll look at integrating the current mechanism as soon as possible.

While I don't necessary think it would be a huge issue to include the code as-is (I've simply changed the EncryptPassword.cmd file to use ant.jar, and changed the package name of the class), it might be biting off more than we should chew to try and create a generic Ant task at this point -- I would think it could potentially complicate the approval process for getting this code out there. It is a worthy idea though. Do you think this would make it complicated to get the StarTeam tasks updated if we had a generic interface for encryption? We've actually already created generic password encryption and decryption tasks for Ant properties to encode in a file, which is what we have been using as a workaround for StarTeam Ant task encryption, so I could take a look to see if they are appropriate as a starting point for this. The only thing I found in the core tasks was GenKey but this didn't seem like it would be appropriate at first glance. One more question about your comment: do you see it being problematic to have to launch a separate command to encrypt the password? I can't think of any other good way to do this. Regards, Paul Ballment, John wrote: Hi Paul Joe has given me permission to add th code to the ant source. I'm not sure whether it would be a good idea as we'd need to create a task to encypt the password to a file. Also from memory you still need the starteam api to use the encrption routine therefore it couldn't be used as a generic ant task. What may be better is to create a generic interface class that could be used by any ant task and then add an implementation based on Joe's code.

I'll work on starting a campaign once we've got the final features settled. First, however, I will need to replace the EncryptPassword class with one that can be included in the Ant starteam package and/or get Joe Schulz/Borland to grant permission to use this code. I've already done the changes on my side and have passed this onto a developer to try it out. Some more feedback -- there is one line of code which will not compile in versions of StarTeam SDK prior to 10.1, which means 2006 (9.0) and the first release of 2008 (10.0) are not supported. There may need to be some reflection API used here if we are going to try and use CheckoutManager. While version 8.0 is already de-supported, we still have a little more time before 9.0 is de-supported, so it might be worth looking into this. Another thing I thought we might want to add is the (selectable) Atomic Checkin... which is now supported by the SDK. I haven't looked into this but my assumption is that the current code would not result in an atomic check-in. In a way, it is too bad that optional tasks aren't included in separate jars. This might help individual task packages to be released more easily. Thanks again for all of your help.

If you can get your guys to create accounts on ant's bugzilla vote for the bugs inclusion and add their test results probably to the ant dev mailing list.

Do you think you could send me the complete source code for the StarTeam tasks when you get a minute? This would be a big help.
