SvnAnt on Mac with Eclipse

I struggled to get SvnAnt to work on a Windows box some time ago and wasn't looking forward to trying to get it working on my Mac but I shouldn't have been.

It was easy!

Just install Subversion for Mac then get SvnAnt and put the *.jar in some central place which you then reference in the classpath of the build.xml script. Done!

That said, I heard recently that it's best to use the 1.1 version of SvnAnt as it includes  SvnKit and doesn't need the JavaHL installed which can be  problematic.

Next is to work out how to sync to a remote server via ftp.

I got ftp working by reading ANT Builds and FTP by Phill Nacelli. Which says you need to install commons-net.jar and jakarta-oro-2.0.8.jar and point Eclipse to those files.
