Register new scm provider

[Lee Freyberg]

Hi,

How do you go about registering a new provider?

I have created a stub impl following the instructions on the scm site, and placed the its jar in the maven/lib dir (adding it as a dependecy in the pom did not work), but I get an error when I try and run any of the scm commands.

I am fairly sure mvn is picking up the provider, as if I remove the jar from the lib dir I get a 'no provider for scm 'xxx'' message.

With the jar present I get a different error:

[INFO] Internal error in the plugin manager executing goal
'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-scm-plugin:1.2:bootstrap': Unable to load
the mojo 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-scm-plugin:1.2:bootstrap' in the
plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-scm-plugin'. A
required class is missing:
org/apache/maven/scm/provider/AbstractScmProvider
org.apache.maven.scm.provider.AbstractScmProvider

Am I missing a dependency somewhere? Or is this not the correct way to register a provider?

Any pointers appreciated.

Cheers,

Lee

It should not be in the lib directory. You should add it under the build extensions.

No, that did not work either, but adding the provider as a dependency of the scm plugin in the plugins section of the build definition did.

Thanks for your help.
