mvn:release using svnkit?

[Mark Derricutt <ma...@talios.com>]

Hi there,

In my continuing experimentation with maven I was just checking out the
release plugin and how it worked but got hit with "'svn' is not recognised
as an internal or external command" on my windows laptop.  I have no
subversion installed as every application I'm using (hudson, idea etc.) all
use svnkit [1] - the pure java subversion library (along with java ssh
libraries) to provide seamless support of subversion without installing
other software.

Has anyone looked at, or is it possible to use svnkit as part of the release
plugin so to not require installing ssh locally?  (This could also lead to
writing a ssh/subversion wagon plugin for deployments (I saw this asked
about the other day, and is something my boss has mentioned he'd like to
see).

Any thoughts?

I have an svnkit provider, written by a colleague of mine, that we  
used for a client so I'll talk to him about releasing it. It works  
for doing releases and would work in continuum.

Give us a couple days.

historically, maven scm started to develop pure java provider based on
svnkit.
However svnkit also now has a new license scheme that no longer
compatible with apache, and therefor the effort stopped.

There is also effort to branch off svnkit but i dont think it is active
