svntask examples for Apache Ant

by Hendrik Will. 7 Comments

A couple days ago I had my first experience with Apache Ant. If you have never heard of it before you should definitely check it out. Apache Ant is a very simple JAVA-based build tool with xml-based configuration files for automation.

I wanted to automate the process of importing/exporting specific MySQL database tables.In the next step I wanted to update and commit the data to SVN. After a quick research I found the JAVA lib svntask which is based on SVNKit very useful.
