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:svn:https://username@svn.apache.org/svn/root/module

The full connection string for StarTeam is as follows:

scm:starteam:username:password@hostName:endpoint/projectName/viewName/folderHierarchy

maven.scm.username and maven.scm.password are the prefer way to store authentication information.

For example:

scm:starteam:username:password@hostname:23456/project/view/folder1/folder2 scm:starteam:username@hostname:23456/project/view/folder scm:starteam:hostname:23456/project/view/folder

The full connection string for StarTeam is as follows:

scm:clearcase:

There is no need for additional configuration as it relies on the correct installation of a ClearCase binary on your system.
