SVNKit is an opensource java SVN library. You can perform all the SVN tasks from Java program using this library.
I had to download a specific file from the repo but SVNKit didn't support file checkout. I googled a lot but couldn't find any specific solution (code snippet :D ). So, I tried writing it myself.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException;
import org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNURL;
import org.tmatesoft.svn.core.io.SVNRepository;
import org.tmatesoft.svn.core.io.SVNRepositoryFactory;
public class subversion {
public static void main(String[] args) throws SVNException, IOException{
File newfile=new File("/home/everest/pom.xml");
if (!newfile.exists()) {
newfile.createNewFile();
}
FileOutputStream fop=new FileOutputStream(newfile);
SVNURL url=SVNURL.parseURIEncoded("http://svn.svnkit.com/repos/svnkit/branches/1.1.x/");
SVNRepository repository = SVNRepositoryFactory.create(url);
repository.getFile("pom.xml", -1, null, fop);
fop.flush();
fop.close();
System.out.println("Done!");
}
}
I wasted my time searching the code. If I've written it then why shall you waste your time for the same reason ?? :P
