Re: Ant tasks - svnant, jsvn, or what?

I'm the original (only?) author of the Jsvn ant tasks. Jsvn provides a
clean java wrapper for the svn command line client, so it's easy enough
to install and get running (provided your cmd line client is happy). I
didn't really need anything beyond the checkout task, so the other tasks
are far from complete/tested. Svnant seems to be more feature complete,
more actively developed, and due to the use of native bindings is
probably faster.. but may be a bit more hassle setting up & upgrading.
Overall, I'd probably spend the effort to get svnant going.

Greetings,

Apologies in advance for cross-posting (for those of you on both
lists).

I'm looking for a recommendation for ant tasks (both Linux & Windows
support) for SVN.

I've recently built a SVN 1.0.1 repository and am hoping to migrate our

environment from CVS soon, but I have to get Ant (1.6.1) working with
it
first.

I've looked around and have located jsvn and svnant. I've been able
to
get jsvn's tasks working, but not svnant's. (Obviously I'm doing
something
wrong!)

Anyway, is there a strong preference for one solution over the other?
I
ask because I've noticed most references I've seen out there appear to

reflect svnant rather than jsvn. (I'm also unfamiliar with the license

jsvn is distributed under.)

(Also, how in the heck do I get svnant to work? I've added the
taskdef,
and included the jars in my classpath & still nothing)

Many thanks,

Tim
