<p>
The StarTeam revision control system was recently acquired by Borland.
These tasks make use of functions from the StarTeam API to work with that system.
As a result they are only available to licensed users of StarTeam. You must have
<CODE>starteam-sdk.jar</CODE> in your classpath to run these tasks.
For more information about the StarTeam API and how to license it, see
the <a href="http://www.borland.com/starteam/">Borland</a> web site.</p>
<p>
<em>All the StarTeam task names are in lower case.</em>
</p>
<h3>Important Note on Installation and Licensing:</h3>
<p>
<b>On Windows machines, the mere presence of <CODE>starteam-sdk.jar</CODE> on the classpath
is not sufficient for getting these tasks to work properly.</b> These tasks also require a
fully-installed and fully-licensed version of the StarGate Runtime. This is part
of a StarTeam client installation or may be installed separately. The full client
install is not required. In particular, the Windows path must include the directory where
the StarGate Runtime <CODE>.dll</CODE> files are installed.
</p><p>
Earlier versions of Ant (prior to 1.5.2) did not have this restriction because they
were not as dependent on the StarTeam runtime - which the newer versions use to access
StarTeam file status information. The older versions lacked this important capability.

<h3>Examples</h3>
<pre>
&lt;stcheckout servername="STARTEAM"
serverport="49201"
projectname="AProject"
viewname="AView"
username="auser"
password="secret"
rootlocalfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
forced="true"
/&gt;
</pre>
The minimum necessary to check out files out from a StarTeam server. This will
check out all files in the <i>AView</i> view of the <i>AProject</i> project to
<code>C:\dev\buildtest\co</code>. Empty folders in StarTeam will have local folders
created for them and any non-StarTeam files found in the tree will be deleted.
<pre>
&lt;stcheckout URL="STARTEAM:49201/Aproject/AView"
username="auser"
password="secret"
rootlocalfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
forced="true"
/&gt;
</pre>
And this is a simpler way of accomplishing the same thing as the previous example, using the URL attribute.
<br></br>
<pre>
&lt;stcheckout URL="STARTEAM:49201/Aproject/AView"
username="auser"
password="secret"
rootlocalfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
rootstarteamfolder="\Dev"
excludes="*.bak *.old"
label="v2.6.001"
forced="true"
/&gt;
</pre>
This will check out all files from the <i>Dev</i> folder and below that do not
end in <i>.bak</i> or <i>.old</i> with the label <i>v2.6.001</i>.
<pre>
&lt;stcheckout URL="STARTEAM:49201/Aproject/AView"
username="auser"
password="secret"
rootlocalfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
includes="*.htm,*.html"
excludes="index.*"
forced="true"
/&gt;
</pre>
This is an example of overlapping <i>includes</i> and <i>excludes</i> attributes. Because
<i>excludes</i> takes precedence over <i>includes</i>, files named <code>index.html</code> will
not be checked out by this command.
<pre>
&lt;stcheckout URL="STARTEAM:49201/Aproject/AView"
username="auser"
password="secret"
rootlocalfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
includes="*.htm,*.html"
excludes="index.*"
forced="true"
recursive="false"
/&gt;
</pre>
This example is like the previous one, but will only check out files in
C:\dev\buildtest\co, because of the turning off of the recursive attribute.
<pre>
&lt;stcheckout URL="STARTEAM:49201/Aproject/AView"
username="auser"
password="secret"
rootstarteamfolder="src/java"
rootlocalfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
forced="true"
/&gt;
</pre>
<br></br>
<pre>
&lt;stcheckout URL="STARTEAM:49201/Aproject/AView"
username="auser"
password="secret"
rootstarteamfolder="src/java"
/&gt;
</pre>
<br></br>
<pre>
&lt;stcheckout URL="STARTEAM:49201/Aproject/AView"
username="auser"
password="secret"
rootstarteamfolder="src/java"
rootlocalfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co\src\java"
forced="true"
/&gt;
</pre>
In the preceding three examples, assuming that the AProject project has a default folder of
"C:\work\AProject", the first example will check out the tree of files rooted in the src/java folder of the AView view of the AProject in the StarTeam repository to a local tree rooted at C:\dev\buildtest\co,
the second to a tree rooted at C:\work\AProject\src\java (since no <i>rootlocalfolder</i> is specified) and the third to a tree rooted at C:\dev\buildtest\co\src\java. Note also, that since the second example does not set "forced" true, only those files which the repository considers out-of-date will be checked out.

projectname="AProject"
viewname="AView"
username="auser"
password="secret"
rootlocalfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
forced="true"
/&gt;
</pre>
The minimum necessary to check files into a StarTeam server. This will
check all files on the local tree rooted at <code>C:\dev\buildtest\co</code>
into the <i>AView</i> view of the <i>AProject</i> project in the repository.
For files and folders in the local tree but not in starteam, nothing will be done. Since the <i>forced</i> attribute is set, the files which are checked in will be checked in without regard to what the StarTeam repository considers their status to be. This is a reasonable choice of attributes since StarTeam's status for a file is calculated based on the local file in the StarTeam default directory, not on the directory we are actually working with.
<pre>

</pre>
This example is like the previous one, but will only check only in one file, C:\dev\buildtest\co\version.java to the StarTeam folder src/java. Because the <i>addUncontrolled</i> attribute has been set, if StarTeam does not already control this file in this location, it will be added to the repository. Also, it will write a comment to the repository for this version of the file.

<h2>Starteam</h2></a>
<h3><i>Deprecated</i></h3>
<p><i>This task has been deprecated. Use the <a href="#stcheckout">STCheckout</a> task instead.</i></p>
<h3>Description</h3>
Checks out files from a StarTeam project.
<p>
The <i>includes</i> and <i>excludes</i> attributes function differently from
other tasks in Ant. Multiple patterns must be separated by spaces, not
commas. See the examples for more information.</p>

<h3>Examples</h3>
<pre>
&lt;starteam servername="STARTEAM"
serverport="49201"
projectname="AProject"
viewname="AView"
username="auser"
password="secret"
targetfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
/&gt;
</pre>
The minimum necessary to check out files out from a StarTeam server. This will
check out all files in the <i>AView</i> view of the <i>AProject</i> project to
<code>C:\dev\buildtest\co</code>.
<pre>
&lt;starteam servername="STARTEAM"
serverport="49201"
projectname="AProject"
viewname="AView"
username="auser"
password="secret"
targetfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
foldername="\Dev"
excludes="*.bak *.old"
force="true"
/&gt;
</pre>
This will checkout all files from the <i>Dev</i> folder and below that do not
end in <i>.bak</i> or <i>.old</i>. The force flag will cause any existing files to be
overwritten by the version in StarTeam.
<pre>
&lt;starteam servername="STARTEAM"
serverport="49201"
projectname="AProject"
viewname="AView"
username="auser"
password="secret"
targetfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
includes="*.htm *.html"
excludes="index.*"
/&gt;
</pre>
This is an example of overlapping <i>includes</i> and <i>excludes</i> attributes. Because
<i>excludes</i> takes precedence over <i>includes</i>, files named <code>index.html</code> will
not be checked out by this command.
<pre>
&lt;starteam servername="STARTEAM"
serverport="49201"
projectname="AProject"
foldername="src/java"
viewname="AView"
username="auser"
password="secret"
targetfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
targetfolderabsolute="true"
/&gt;
</pre>
<br></br>
<pre>
&lt;starteam servername="STARTEAM"
serverport="49201"
projectname="AProject"
foldername="src/java"
viewname="AView"
username="auser"
password="secret"
targetfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co"
targetfolderabsolute ="false"
/&gt;
</pre>
<br></br>
<pre>
&lt;starteam servername="STARTEAM"
serverport="49201"
projectname="AProject"
foldername="src/java"
viewname="AView"
username="auser"
password="secret"
targetfolder="C:\dev\buildtest\co\src\java"
targetfolderabsolute="true"
/&gt;
</pre>
In the preceding three examples, assuming that the AProject project has a default folder of
"AProject", the first example will check the files located in starteam under src/java out to a tree rooted at C:\dev\buildtest\co,
the second to a tree rooted at C:\dev\buildtest\co\AProject\src\java and the third to a tree rooted at C:\dev\buildtest\co\src\java.
