SCM Matrix

What is involved in adding support for a new SCM to Maven 2.0?

For adding support for a new scm, you only need to implement a new scm provider in maven-scm. It will can be used after in maven1, m2 and continuum

You're missing the MKS Source Integrity SCM. It's what we use at our company. The website for mks is http://www.mks.com/

Don't forget subversion too

I am currently implementing a synergy plugin for the SCM. However, I don't understand how I can make the release plugin use the synergy URL I have defined.
The plugin is still not ready for publishing of course, so I need to test it on my machine.
Any tips? Any tips on where I can get information on this?

What about Harvest from Computer Associates. http://www3.ca.com/solutions/Product.aspx?ID=255

Liran,
release plugin will can use your providrr if you add your provider as depency of release plugin in your pom or you can patch release plugin with this dependency

Praveen,

i didn't know Harvest. Do you want write a scm provider for it.

What about git support?

I don't know git. If you want a support of it in Maven-SCM, you can start to write a provider for it.

Hi,

What is the process for adding support for a new SCM system?

I want to add support for CM Synergy.

Great.

you can subscribe to scm-dev@maven.apache.org. Me or other guys will help you to start the implementation. 

Please add MKS SI SCM support too!

Hi,

I search support for CM Synergy. has anyone have implemented it?

I will be happy to contribute implementation if there is no version or preversion .

If there is an existing functional or pre functional version where can I get it? 

I don't think something is started yet for CM Synergy.

If you want to start it, you can subscribe to scm developers list, and we'll help you to start.

For git support see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-182

Can you support Arch in the 2.x? Although Arch is not so popular in this time being, but its unique feature will become lots of the people choice in the future. Here is the features that attract me:

• Works on Whole Trees arch keeps track of whole trees - not just individual files. For example, if you change many files in a tree, arch can record all of those changes as a group rather than file-by-file; if you rename files or reorganize a tree, arch can record those tree arrangements along with your changes to file contents.

• Changeset Oriented arch doesn't simply "snapshot" your project trees. Instead, arch associates each revision with a particular changeset: a description of exactly what has changed. arch provides changeset oriented commands to help you review changesets, merge trees by applying changesets, examine the history of a tree by asking what changesets have been applied to it, and so forth.

• Fully Distributed arch doesn't rely on a central repository. For example, there is no need to give write access to a project's archive to all significant contributors, instead, each contributor can have their own archive for their work. arch seamlessly operates across archive boundaries.

We'll can support Arch if someone want to implement the Arch provider. Maybe you want to do it

Does anyone have any more information on the possible bounty from Serena for a Dimensions provider? I might be quite interested in having a go at this - but I wasn't aware that Serena provided any APIs to Dimensions.

Could use the command line - but this is clunky at best, prompts for userid/password all the time and there is no way to provide userid/password on command line.

Hello, any news from MKS integration ? Did Sharma Jaikumar make any progress on it ? We would like to implement it in our company using MKS SI, but starting from existing tentative could be helpful ... Thanks !
