Scm:bootstrap : purpose of the goal ?

["Sharma, Jaikumar" <ja...@barco.com>]

Dear Maven Users,
 
"bootstrap" goal in maven-scm-plugin can be / is used to run multiple goals
in sequence (If I learned right from earlier posts in this list) from a scm
provider plugin. As to me the semantics of this goal indicates that,
running multiple goals from a scm provider plugin is not only purpose of
this goal, is this true ?
 
Could somebody throw some light on it please ? or Indicate what else this
goal is suppose to do ?
 
Regards.

The main purpose is able to do a build in one command line without existing
source on your local disk

mvn scm:bootstrap -DconnectionUrl=xuy -Dgoals=install -Dtag=ifany

it fetches your source based on the given scm url, then invokes the goals
from top directory
