I have done that. But my results are not what i expect. Here is my
script.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="svnant" default="svncheckout">
        <!--  all properties are in build.properties -->
          <property file="build.properties" />
        <!-- path to the svnant libraries. Usually they will be located
in ANT_HOME/lib -->
          <path id="project.classpath">
            <pathelement location="${svnjavahl.jar}" />
            <pathelement location="${svnant.jar}" />
            <pathelement location="${svnClientAdapter.jar}" />
          </path>

          <!-- load the svn task -->
          <taskdef resource="svntask.properties"
classpathref="project.classpath"/>


        <target name="svncheckout" description="Checkout project from
Subversion.">
                <input message="Please enter Project Name:"
addproperty="project.name" defaultvalue="" />
                <input message="Branch or Tag? (exp. branch/1.0.1a)
default is trunk:" addproperty="bt.path" defaultvalue="trunk" />
                <condition property="abort">
                        <equals arg1="" arg2="${project.name}" />
                </condition>
                <fail if="abort">Build aborted Project name not
specified.</fail>
                <property name="project.home"
value="${project.name}.home" />
                <echo> project.home = ${project.home} </echo>
                <fail />
                <property name="dst.dir"    location="${project.name}"/>
                <property name="urlRepos"
value="file:///home/svn/${project.name}/${bt.path}" />
                <svn javahl="TRUE">
                        <checkout url="${urlRepos}"
destPath="${dst.dir}" />
                </svn>
        </target>

I expect to see that path,(/my/project/dev2 but all i see is the project
name plus home. (project2.home)

And this is what executes on my checkout.

I hope this helps clarify more.

Thanks.
