SCM URL Format Brett Porter

The SCM URL is used to provide any necessary information to connect to your source control system. It is much like a JDBC connection URL.

The format is as follows:

scm:<provider>[:<provider specific connection string>]

The available providers and their particular connection strings are listed below.

The full connection string for CVS is as follows:

scm:cvs:<protocol>[:<host>]:<CVS root>:<CVS module>

For example:

scm:cvs:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/cvs/root:module scm:cvs:ext:username@cvs.apache.org:/cvs/root:module scm:cvs:local:/cvs/root:module

The full connection string for Subversion is as follows:

scm:svn:<url>

For example:

scm:svn:file:///svn/root/module scm:svn:http://svn.apache.org/svn/root/module scm:cvs:https://username@svn.apache.org/svn/root/module
