Rimersolution ANT Git plugin

Question

I face problem while checking out the code from Git cloud repository.

Here is the ANT build code

  <project name="ProjectX" default="checkoutcode" basedir="."  xmlns:git="antlib:com.rimerosolutions.ant.git">
<taskdef uri="antlib:com.rimerosolutions.ant.git"
         resource="com/rimerosolutions/ant/git/jgit-ant-lib.xml">
        <classpath>
            <pathelement location="./external-libs/org.eclipse.jgit.ant-3.0.0.201306101825-r.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="./external-libs/org.eclipse.jgit-3.0.0.201306101825-r.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="./external-libs/jsch-0.1.50.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="./external-libs/ant-git-tasks-0.0.1.jar"/>

       </classpath>
  </taskdef>

    <git:settings refId="git.testing"
        username="userx"
        password="passx"
        name="Rashmin"
        email="r@r.com"/>

    <target name="checkoutcode">
   <git:git directory="c:\documents\projectxsrcbuild" verbose="true" settingsRef="git.testing">
            <git:init uri="https://github.com/company/projectx.git" />
            <git:checkout branchname="development" />

        </git:git>
    </target>
     </project>

This is the result I get on console

Buildfile: C:\document\git\Platform\build\buildprojectx.xml

check:

init:
   [delete] Deleting directory c:\documents\projectxsrcbuild
    [mkdir] Created dir: c:\documents\projectxsrcbuild

checkoutcode:
[antlib:com.rimerosolutions.ant.git:checkout] The branch 'development' was not found.

Can any one help me?

The git "checkout" command is normally used to switch branches. Does the ANT plugin provide a "branch" command? — Mark O'Connor, Jan 29 '15 at 23:33
Here is the WIKI page I refer. The checkoutTask is only for 'checkout' while the BranchTask is for 'branch switch'. They write purpose of task in description. https://github.com/rimerosolutions/ant-git-tasks/wiki/CheckoutTask — Rashmin H Gadhavi, Jan 30 '15 at 16:29
Try this: https://github.com/rimerosolutions/ant-git-tasks/wiki/BranchTask — Mark O'Connor, Jan 31 '15 at 00:27
A bit late, but still the wiki pages should have helped. The "checkout" task has an optional "createbranch" attribute which defaults to "false". — rimero, May 21 '15 at 23:46

I'm more familiar with JGit which has an associated ant task.

jGit ANT task

Also available from Maven Central repository:

"org.eclipse.jgit.ant" artefact in Maven Central

Not entirely clear what your ANT task is, although looking at the jar dependencies, looks like it too depends on JGit.

Examples of my ANT usage of JGit:

How to tell ANT-exec, the location of git executable
How can I get the latest commit ID of the currently checked out branch in git, using ANT, without having an active git installation?

Thanks for this! I tried using jGit, but if failed at connecting my repository. I mean failed at authentication. My Repo is HTTPS and requires authentication. – Rashmin H Gadhavi Feb 04 '15 at 18:13
