RE: using Maven SCM with Perforce

[Bruno Dumant]

Hi,

 

I am using the scm plugin with perforce every day with no problem. I do NOT 
configure maven-scm-plugin in the plugins list. Maven seems to find the 
appropriate plugin by itself.

 

My connection configuration looks like that:

 

    <scm>

        <connection>

            scm:perforce:<my server>:1971://<folder path in the repository>

        </connection>

        <developerConnection>

            scm:perforce:<my server>:1971://<folder path in the repository>

        </developerConnection>

    </scm> 

 

I don't specify any user name or password in the pom: I have set a default 
workspace using the P4 tools, and thus do not need to do so. Note that it makes 
the POM user independent. When defining a workspace, do not define the 'Host'.

 

Another remark: if you still want to use snapshot plugins (sometimes, you have 
no choice: see the maven-dependency plugin, for instance), you need to specify 
a specific repository in your POM, like this:

 

    <pluginRepositories>

        <pluginRepository>

            <id>apache-snapshots-repository</id>

            <url>

                http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository

            </url>

            <snapshots>

                <enabled>true</enabled>

            </snapshots>

        </pluginRepository>

    </pluginRepositories>

 

Hope this helps, 

 

Bruno

Subject: using Maven SCM with Perforce

 

Hi,

I am a beginner with maven and maven SCM. i tried to use Maven SCM with 
Perforce. My pom.xml looks like this:

<project xmlns=" http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>com.test</groupId>
  <artifactId>withPerforce</artifactId>
  <packaging>jar</packaging>
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <name>withPerforce</name>
  <url>http://maven.apache.org</url>
  <scm>
    <connection>scm:perforce:[EMAIL PROTECTED] :3023://depot/myProj</connection>
  </scm>
<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId> org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-scm-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
      <configuration>
      <connectionType>connection</connectionType> 
    </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
 </build> 
 <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>3.8.1</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency> 
  </dependencies>
</project>

--------------------------------------------------------------------

But, when i attempt to execute any scm command, i get the following error: 
Reason: Unable to download the artifact from any repository
  org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-scm-plugin:pom:1.0-SNAPSHOT

My configuration file is configured right, it can download the other plugins 
required from the repository. 

Could you please let me know if i am doing anything wrong or have i missed out 
on any configuration step.

Thanks in advance,
Anirudh
