Re: [Subclipse-users] svnant and authentication

I found an interesting pattern which threw me for a loop initially

*Windows*: only commandline adapter handles auth caching
*Unix*: only java adapter handles auth caching
*Hpux*: handles both (that's odd)

I'll bet there's much more going on here, but this is enough for me to deal
with my issue. So, it is possible, or even likely, that something in the
build system is impacting how things work and I'll need to tease that out.
For now, I'm satisfied with an if-platform-use-svn-type solution.

Here's my test.

   - create a simple module with an ant script, shell/batch scripts for
   running it on windows and linux and two copies of ant (1.6.1, and 1.7.0).
   - create some Targets like the following
   - deploy my module to the various platforms via my distributed build
   system

    <target name="javasvn">
        <delete dir="${dest}"/>
        <echo>Test - Javasvn</echo>
        <svn javahl="no" javasvn="yes">
            <checkout url="${svn.path}" destPath="${dest}"/>
        </svn>
    </target>
    <target name="native">
        <delete dir="${dest}"/>
        <echo>Test - native</echo>
        <svn javahl="no" javasvn="no" >
            <checkout url="${svn.path}" destPath="${dest}"/>
        </svn>
    </target>
    <target name="javahl">
        <delete dir="${dest}"/>
        <echo>Test - Java HL</echo>
        <svn javahl="yes">
            <checkout url="${svn.path}" destPath="${dest}"/>
        </svn>
    </target>
I created a simple ant
