[jira] (MRELEASE-512) SCM information should be validated

["Keith Orpen (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-512?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=329592#comment-329592 ] 

Keith Orpen commented on MRELEASE-512:
--------------------------------------

I did some testing and it seems scm:validate will pass any URL that just exists, regardless of whether it matches your working copy. So, it is not sufficient for this purpose.

>             Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
>          Issue Type: Wish
>          Components: perform, prepare, rollback
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-8

> The plugin does not currently validate the SCM connection info. When preparing a release with invalid info, the project gets built, the transformed POM is committed, but the branching/tagging is doomed -- leaving the user having to perform a rollback.
> I would like this plugin to automatically invoke {{scm:validate}}:

> The earlier phase the better for validation. There's no point in compiling the project if the connection strings are wrong.
