It probably has something to do with how you've set up your
subversion repository on a network drive. I've never tried it like
that, so I can't say whether or not your scm config is correct. My
scm config looks like this and works fine.
<scm>
<connection>scm:svn:http://apollo.ucalgary.ca:8800/
timesheets/trunk</connection>
<developerConnection>scm:svn:http://apollo.ucalgary.ca:8800/
timesheets/trunk</developerConnection>
<url>http://apollo.ucalgary.ca/websvntimesheets/listing.php?
repname=timesheets&rev=0&sc=0&path=/trunk</url>
</scm>
There is nothing else special on the buildnumber side needed - it
just uses whatever you've configured in your pom (if it can).
Check out http://maven.apache.org/scm/scm-url-format.html and http://
maven.apache.org/scm/subversion.html. Might be as simple as using a
pipe instead of a colon.
Also verify that maven can reach your subversion repository with some
other plugin (ie. release, changelog).

Hi,
We need to incoporate build numbers into our codebase and so
started looking
at the buildnumberr plugin. It looks great and works fine if we
configure it
to spit out an incremental number like so:
<configuration>
<doCheck>false</doCheck>
<doUpdate>false</doUpdate>
<format>{0,number}</format>
<items>
<item>buildNumber0</item>
</items>
</configuration>
However, for the real thing we want it to integrate with
Subversion. We are
using Subclipse for our SVN client.
To do so, we are not able to configure buildnumber to use our scm.
Specifically, the instructions here:
http://commons.ucalgary.ca/projects/maven-buildnumber-plugin/
howto.html
do NOT state what exactly is the scm configuration that needs to be
set in
the POM.
Our Subversion repository is installed on a network drive.
I looked here
http://apollo.ucalgary.ca/tlcprojectswiki/index.php/Public/
Project_Versioning_-_Best_Practices
and tried the following in the POM:
<scm>
<connection>file:///X:/repos</connection>
<developerConnection>file:///X:/repos</developerConnection>
<url>file:///X:/repos</url>
</scm>
but that did not help either.
I continue to get:
[INFO] --------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] --------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Cannot get the revision information from the scm repository :
Can't load the scm provider.
The scm url cannot be null.
So what am I doing wrong? How do I integrate with Subversion using
Subclipse
as the SVN client?
Thanks in advance,
Pankaj
