How to get more than one module from CVS?

[Hilco Wijbenga <hi...@gmail.com>]

Our project consists of two modules (say, A and B) in CVS. Both are
necessary for the build and until we move to Subversion I don't have
the option of changing this setup.

I don't see how I can check out both modules in Continuum. Or would
that be possible with a special SCM URL?

Obviously, I could write an Ant or shell script (and put it in module
A) that does the checkout of module B prior to kicking off the build
but I'd rather not.

Cheers,
Hilco

I got a very dirty solution for your. but I will be slow ;-)

create a dumy sub project in one of your sub module that know how too pull
the source of other module using maven-scm-plugin.

I did that a lot when during my migration of merging CVS and starteam into
SVN

We've already been doing that for the last 3 months or so. It's not my
full time job, more a labour of love. :-) So it doesn't progress very
quickly (although we've managed to pull off some major improvements).

This 2 module system will be around for a while yet, though. It seems
like a small enhancement to allow multiple checkouts for a single
project so maybe I'll try my hand at adding it to Continuum. :-)

Ah yes, "module" is a bit overloaded. :-) I was talking about *CVS*
modules. There is no parent directory...

you need to define your scm url to a parent directory of your modules and add a pom in this directory.
