Hi, I'm trying to build a framework around anthill and I am wondering what the minimum amount of code I have to write to get an anthill project running. What are the important properties to set in AnthillProjectProperties? Where is the project information stored? How is it saved and loaded?
This question might be better on the anthill-dev list, but I'll take a crack. What properties are important to set on the ProjectProperties is going to depend on what you are trying to accomplish. At the least, you will probably need to set the repository information so that Anthill knows where to fetch the build script from. The build script path is also going to be pretty important. Otherwise, it really depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Project information is going to be stored in the associated .registry files. They are in essence plain text property files with some added features to make lists function in a reasonable way. Projects (and everything else) are loaded from those registry files at initialization time. Take a look at the Anthill.initialize() method which calls out to the various loading methods. The loading for the project properties isn't terribly sophisticated. Essentially the property names are mapped into the registry files and the ProjectProperties object wraps the registry object that mirrors the file. The loading is done In the ProjectProperties(Anthill, AnthillProject, File) constructor which is somewhat typical. The save methods on the various objects write them back into registries.

This documentation couldn't have been written any simpler, it helped me a lot. http://www.urbancode.com/projects/anthill/manual/anthillusermanual.pdf What do you use for version control? CVS, SVN, VSS....? It has an adapeter for all of them. Once you install antill from urbancode. On the top, in "anthill properties", set your params like so: The abolute path to the directory in which Anthill was installed. anthill.home - C:\AntHill anthill.ant.home - lib/ant1.6.5 anthill.version.adapter - com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.UrbanCodeVersionAdapter anthill.repository.adapter - com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.CVSRepositoryAdapter | choose Subversion or any other repo adapter accordingly anthill.publish.dir.default - publishDir anthill.mail.host - ask your Admin anthill.mail.from - mypc@... | I acutally use this fake address so I can filter it in my Outlook anthill.server - http://localhost:8080/anthill/ anthill.dependency.target - dependency anthill.dependency.artifact.property -dependency.artifact.dir anthill.background.color - white anthill.title.text - Anthill Build Management Server(Continue reading)
Is there a way to customize the CVS repository driver to specify custom parameters to the cvs command. Specifically, we'd like to add compression (e.g. -z 9). We're using Anthill Pro 2.4. I couldn't find anywhere to do this, either on a per-build track or for the shared cvs repository driver. I'm thinking of a workaround where I specify my own path to the cvs driver, and add the switch there (e.g. /usr/bin/cvs -z 9), but I'm not sure if that will cause it to fail to fork the process. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks, Tim -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Adding-parameters-to-cvs-driver-t1137467.html#a2980224 Sent from the Anthill - General forum at Nabble.com.
Go into the .pgl files (equivalent of .jsp) and modify the command. I did this once because the default did not work properly on Windows. The files are in Anthill\conf\profiles\Win32\win_cvs (or whatever operating system, version control system, etc. you use). I think you have to remove all the working directories in your server (Tomcat/Jboss/etc.) for this to take effect (obviously, this includes stopping and restarting the service). It may depend on rebuilding Anthill. In any case, this is where to do the deed. Best, Joe -----Original Message----- From: anthill-bounces@...

Thanks Joe, That's exactly right. It shouldn't require rebuilding the software or anything that extreme though.

I have a problem using Anthill on a CVS repository with SSH
authentication.
So: I have set my Anthill project (coopn) to use the following CVSROOT:
:ext:me@...:/usr/local/cvsroot
I have also set the CVS_RSH environment variable for the user me to
be "ssh".
Also, I have done manually a cvs checkout once to be sure that the
RSA key was added to the known_hosts file. In fact, the server
holding the CVS repository and the server running Anthill are the
same server, smv.unige.ch.
When I try to build my project, it fails immediately. The weird thing
is, if I keep a console open (with user me logged in) when clicking
"Build", I get the request for authorizing the connecting server:
The authenticity of host 'smv.unige.ch (129.194.69.14)' can't be
established.
RSA key fingerprint is 0f:08:dc:c6:95:50:fc:c1:06:52:0f:
5e:df:b2:c4:0d.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
although as I said this server is already in the known_hosts file (I
have checked the fingerprint, it's the same I got when doing it
manually).
If I answer "yes", the console starts printing infinite lines with
the "y" character until I press ctrl-c (but the build had already
failed before answering).

Thanks for the replies. For now I actually created a .cvsrc file in the home directory of the user that runs AnthillPro containing the line: cvs -z 9 Of course, this affects all cvs commands for that user, but its a dedicated build user so that is fine in our case. With regards the .pgl files: I couldn't find an conf/profiles directory in my installation at all. I can find many .pgl files under lib/VCSDriver/example. Are those the actual .pgl files used by AnthillPro, or would I have to copy them somewhere else (like lib/VCSDriver/pagelets?). We're using version 2.4.

Tim, We all lose points on reading comprehension. While you did tell us that you are using Anthill Pro, you posted to the Anthill OS list and the responses you received reflected how to do it in Anthill OS. By default, Anthill Pro has its pagelets precompiled into java classes. The precompiled versions can be overridden however, by copying the appropriate pagelets from AnthillPro/lib/VCSDriver/example/Unix/≤driver>/<pagelet>.pgl to AnthillPro/conf/vcsdriver/Unix/≤driver>/<pagelet>.pgl For this change, you would just want to modify the Unix/cvsdriver/getCommandInit.pgl .
