scm in pom?

[deckrider <de...@gmail.com>]

It appears that I have to put scm information into my pom.xml in order
to use a Maven 2 project in Continuum.  Is this true?

The reason I'm concerned about this, is suppose I'm in CVS, and create
a lot of branches and tags in each of my projects.  Now I want to
convert to Subversion.  My job of converting is now more than
importing CVS history into Subversion and reconfiguring Continuum, but
I have to go into each of my projects, and their branches, tags, and
trunk to change the pom (kind of defeats the purpose of tagging them
in the first place if I have to change the source code when I change
my scm system).

But hopefully I'm mistaken and there is some better way (I'm still new
to Maven and Continuum).

Thanks in advance.

scm plugin, changelog plugin, release plugin.

It gets used when you generate the website [1], but that and Continuum
are the only things I know of that care about it.   Maybe the scm
plugin uses it?

Well... how often is this really going to be an issue?  There should
be only one SCM of record, and that's the one that belongs in the pom
of projects under active development.

Thanks for responding.

Only Continuum uses "<scm><connection></connection></scm>" within
pom.xml?  Thus if its no longer valid, everything else would still
work in the case that we needed to rebuild some artifacts from their
original tags?

This somehow feels non-modular to me that all my projects that I put
in my SCM should know about the SCM in which they exist (and their
location within that SCM), but perhaps there is some clue that I'm
missing.

Yes.  That's how Continuum knows how to find the source code to check it out.

I can't imagine why you would add code from a tag to Continuum... but
yes, you'll need to update the code on trunk and branches with the
correct scm url.
