questions about cvs and maven

[wqi <wq...@ic.sunysb.edu>]

Hi Everyone,

I'm a little confused on how cvs is being used in maven, I really
appreciate it if anyone can clarify a few things for me. For my project,
we had an ant script that first checkout a module from our cvs
repository to a build directory and then executed the build process from
that directory. Does Maven also work this way? 


I had placed similar codes like the following into my project.xml. I'm
not sure what these lines exactly does.
<repository> 
   <connection>
	scm:cvs:pserver:mparikh@milindparikh.com:/src:maven/project4
   </connection>
</repository>

In addition, do we use the folloiwng command to check out a module from
the cvs repository? 
maven scm:checkout-project
  -Dmaven.scm.method=cvs
  -Dmaven.scm.cvs.module=project4
  -Dmaven.scm.cvs.root=:pserver:mparikh@milindparikh:/home/cvspublic
  -Dmaven.scm.checkout.dir=.


Looking forward to your reply,

Thanks a lot,

-Wendy

To bootstrap your project (i.e. the first checkout of a real project) , use 
:

maven scm:checkout-project
   -Dmaven.scm.method=cvs
   -Dmaven.scm.cvs.module=project4
   -Dmaven.scm.cvs.root=:pserver:mparikh@milindparikh:/home/cvspublic
   -Dmaven.scm.checkout.dir=.

For this to really work with a secure password, you need to have a cvspass 
file. I discuss how to create a cvspass in my book (which you are clearly 
refering to) at www.milindparikh.com. The scm plugin does all the work. No 
more ant scripts to bootstrap the checkout process.

Once you have the project.xml, then you make the project SCCS aware (CVS) by 
the inclusion of

<repository>
   <connection>
         scm:cvs:pserver:mparikh@milindparikh.com:/src:maven/project4
    </connection>
</repository>


Once a project is SCCS aware, it can then generate all kinds of interesting 
reports as mentioned in my book.

Hope that this helps!

It doesn't have to, but can.

Try:
maven scm:perform-release

It is used for the scm goals, and also for generating the changelog
reports, and so on.

Yes, though the next version will use a shorter version such as:
maven scm:checkout
-Dmaven.scm.url=scm:cvs:pserver:mparikh@milindparikh:/home/cvspublic:project4

Cheers,
Brett
