I haven't gotten a response from an SCM plugin development person. Perhaps someone on the Maven list could guide me in the right direction. I would like contribute a fix to the SCM plugin. I am trying to build the project but I have questions/issues. Who can I talk to regarding these?
Thanks all. And sorry for creating some noise on the Maven list. --- Todd Thiessen > -----Original Message----- > From: Thiessen, Todd (BVW:9T16) > Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 5:13 PM > To: 'scm-dev@maven.apache.org' > Cc: 'Maven Users List' > Subject: SCM plugin project > > I have downloaded the source for this project have and have a > number questions/concerns. > > Most of the code seems be under the scm directory. ie: > > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/scm > > There is a POM at the highest level, with an artifact ID of > maven-scm, which indicates many sub-directories as sub-modules. > > However, there is one sub-module that confuses me: > maven-scm-plugin.
