ClearCase support in the SCM plugin

My team is using Rational ClearCase and we'd like to switch from Ant to
Maven as our project management tool.  According to Jira key MPSCM-55,
ClearCase support is not quite ready.  I'd like to take a stab at
finishing and/or testing the ClearCase support.  How can I become
involved?

Also, can someone tell me how "SCM Wagon" is related?

Re: ClearCase support in the SCM plugin

Posted by dan tran <da...@gmail.com>.
I am willing to help out if someone would take a lead of this effort
(my need for maven-scm-clearcase-provider is fading away since we
are moving to another scm provider)
 Currently, there are 4 types to clearcase usage:
  1. Base SCM where user will provide a config spec file some where
 locally or under clearcase with a label.
  2. Pure UCM
  3. A mixture of base SCM and UCM
  4. Snapshot.
  Which of these are you using? my is 3

That's great!

Ok, moving forward, we are adding all support and tests to Maven SCM:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/scm/trunk/

We should discuss this on scm-dev@maven.apache.org (a list dedicated to
this and a lot lower in traffic). You can subscribe with
scm-dev-subscribe@maven.apache.org.

There has been some discussion in the past about possibly changing the
API to better suit other providers, so we can also discuss that there.

Maven 1 and Maven 2's SCM plugins and Continuum use Maven SCM for all
their tasks. So once that provider does all the operations they need,
they will work for you. Maven 1 and Maven 2 also have a changelog report
- this currently uses it's own set of code that we need to migrate to
using Maven SCM.

That's about all there is too it.

This was a prototype I built for being able to access a repository of
artifacts stored in an SCM. I believe we need to work on the SCM API
some more to make this practical. There has also been some previous
discussion on this - we're just searching for some time and helpers to
get stuck into it :)

Cheers,
Brett
