Hello Robert,

svn works perfectly fine using the command line or the installed Tortoise SVN 
or using Subversion.
If invoking maven from the command line I do not have to provide credentials 
(just committed something where a change was sent to the server to verify 
that). Hence the SVN must take the credentials from somewhere which is related 
to the Active Directory / Kerberos ticket.

However this seems to fail if using the maven-release-plugin. However this may 
relate to
https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-892
as there is also an error message to use --force interactive to make the 
maven-release-plugin to request the credentials.

I'll try with version 2.5.2 of the maven-release-plugin.

With regards
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

this is first of all more an svn commandline issue rather than a Maven / 
maven-release-plugin issue.
For that reason you should start by calling svn directly from the commandline. 
In the end, that's exactly what maven-release-plugin (actually the 
scm-svn-provider) does. Once it can be called from commandline, it should be a 
simple step to make it work with Maven.
"svn status" or "svn up" are easy to verify, but don't always require 
credentials (depends how the access is controlled by the svn server) "svn 
commit" does require authentication.

How credentials are stored: that's all up the the svn client.

thanks,
Robert
