[Anthill-pro] VCS driver modifications (2.6.x)

[paul.krause at aciworldwide.com]

Sorry to take so long in getting back to you.  It took me that long to 
make all my builds pass again, but as it turned out, that wasn't the 
problem.  I think I've figured out what it is, though.  The build manager 
is looking in the wrong directory for its working files.

The whole point of the modifications I've been making to the StarTeam 
driver pagelets is to change the directory that files are checked out 
into.  Instead of the defaults like "work/FolderOne[/BranchOne]", I need 
to check them out into names like "work/dir1" that are compatible with our 
legacy build.

So the problem, I think, is the incremental build manager is looking in 
FolderOne, not seeing any files, and then issuing getProject, which then 
checks out all the files into dir1.  Next time around, FolderOne is still 
empty, so it does getProject all over again.

Another side effect is that clean doesn't do anything.  If I check the 
Force Clean box when requesting a build, I see a zero duration cleanup 
step in the log.

INFO - Cleanup - STARTING - Running a clean build.
INFO - Step 2: Cleanup
INFO - Cleanup - started at: 10:44:02
INFO - Cleanup - complete at: 10:44:02 Duration: 00:00:00

Of course, the path to build.xml is wrong too. Right now, I'm waltzing 
around the issue by using ../[../]dir1/build.xml as the path to the build 
file, but defects are becoming painfully obvious.

How do I tell the build manager that I want to use a different 
subdirectory of the work directory?
