Hey there,
Perforce is more user oriented that most SCMs, you need to explicitly tell
it who you are and and how to map files from it's repository to your local
system using a specific 'client' specification. Typically these values are
set as environment variables e.g.
P4CLIENT=<your-client-spec>
P4USER=<your-user>
P4PASSWD=<your password>
# this is the server host and port
P4PORT=localhost:1666
You need to have these set to be able to use the 'p4' commandline anyhow.
To use it with maven; Say you have a maven project named 'simple' checked
into your perforce repo at '//depot/simple', the scm tags in the project
file should read
<scm>
<connection>scm:perforce://depot/simple</connection>
<developerConnection>scm:perforce://depot/simple</developerConnection>
<url>scm:perforce://depot/simple</url>
</scm>
Now you should be able to release your 'simple' project with the release
plugin.
execute the following prepare step if you don't like the idea of having your
username or password set in env variables you can supply them to the commad
as follows
-Dusername=<youruser> -Dpassword=<yourpassword>
mvn release:prepare --batch-mode
The batchmode selects sensible defaults for the release version, label and
next version. If the prepare succeeds, finish it out using
mvn release:perform
(this will also upload it to your enterpise maven artifact repository if
configured, e.g. archiva, nexus, maven-proxy)
if it fails roll it back with
mvn release:rollback
The release plugin page goes into this in more depth, so check it out.
Hope this helps
