Have you taken a look at how Eclipse handles this? http://eclipse.org
******************************************* Richard A. Sitze IBM WebSphere WebServices Development Following some interesting discussions on the Maven list, I'd like to propose starting an SCM abstraction project, tentatively named Scamp. Proposed Goal: Scamp is a Source Control Manager abstraction layer. It provides a standard interface to SCM systems allowing common source control operations such as checkin/checkout, labelling/tagging, reading changelogs and diffs. Initial design goals: -- expose a stable SCM interface contract for consuming applications (Maven, Ant, etc). -- provide extensible infrastructure for specific SCM implementations. -- configuration driven implementations -- file system independent -- supports multiple projects, multiple/distributed source providers Architecture: My initial thoughts are to utilize a combination of AbstractSCMFactory and a SourceControlManager interface with concrete implementations of both. We might possible need some secondary classes representing projects, connections, and filesystems, but I'm not sure on those yet. 0.1 Release Goals/Requirements: -- First version of SCM Interface, focused on primary/core SCM operations -- AbstractSCMFactory -- Stubbed concrete factories for cvs/vss/vfs? -- exception infrastructure Any thoughts, feedback, requirements, design, existing code pointers, etc very welcome. Potential participants more than welcome!!
