Looking for design documentation for Wagon & ScmWagon
Hi. I'm trying to understand how the SCM Wagon is intended to work, but
it isn't sufficiently obvious to me from scanning the Java source. Is
there any design documentation anywhere that anyone can point me to?
As much as I understand, Maven's habit of embedding version numbers into
JAR filenames in repositories is related to the limitations of file and
HTTP implementations of Wagon. To convince my enterprise clients to use
Maven, I need to be able to tell them that for SCM-based Maven
repositories, the JAR filenames are version free, and the version is
instead determined via a tag/label. However, I can't quickly determine
whether this is the case or not.
Can anyone give me any pointers? Thanks very much in advance,
Cheers, Tony.

Looking for design documentation for Wagon & ScmWagon
Posted by "Anthony B. Coates" <ab...@idmm.co.uk>.
Hi. I posted this previously to the Maven Developers List, but things are
extremely busy there in the lead up to the beta-3 release. If anyone here
can help me understand how the Maven SCM Wagon is designed, I would be
extremely grateful. Thanks, Cheers, Tony.

This was actually just a proof of concept, it hasn't been finalised.

Not at the moment, though it is possible.

Probably the only avenue right now is to check out the sources and try
it out. Thanks for your interest!
