MAVEN 2.0 and SCM-SVN

[Phill Moran <pj...@rogers.com>]

This could be a dumb questions but why does maven SCM default to checkout to
/target/checkout? I would expect it to go to a dir under src/java. It also seems
that the SCM plug-in does not allow this to be overridden. I have tried setting
<sourceDirectory> and the others to no avail. I am using the standard MAVEN dir
structure.
Unless I am missing something fundamental this issue makes the plug-in a little
useless

The thing you're missing is that the SCM code is usually used to do a
checkout in order to create a *temporary* working copy in order to build
a release from an SCM tag.

It's not at all clear what you are using it for, that you would find it
helpful to have it checking out under src.

By convention, any thing generated by the build execution should be placed
under ${project.build.directory) ( ie target)

scm:checkout is not the exception either.

A good use case of this, maven release:perform which checkouts a know tag
into target/checkout and performs the build from there.
After that user can freely remove target dir ( ie mvn clean )

But there are cases you will want override the checkoutDirectory.  May be
this is what you want, rather than calling it useless :)
