maven-scm

I'm new to both maven and git and wanted to get some help in setting a project. Is there a way to define a goal in the pom to push/pull from git during linked to a maven phase? For example, can I pull from git during the maven install phase? If yes, how can that be accomplished? I would appreciate any code examples. Good idea or not, here's how you could do a checkout ( pull clone from Github) using Maven. Have your pom.xml look like this: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0

How can I commit a single artifact like a file or a directory to an arbitrary location in a svn repository in the deploy lifecycle phase? With repository I mean a plain Subversion repository here, not a Maven repository held in a Subversion repository! I have already evaluated the wagon-svn but it seems it can just be used to commit a whole module build to a Maven repository held in a Subversion repository. This is my use case: I generate a JAR-file including all dependencies during build. This is to be used in Python scripts, so outside the Maven world. And I want to provide the current

Is there a method to externalize my SCM credentials so they are not stored in the project's POM? The problem being if they're contained in the project's POM, they will be visible to all when the project is deployed. This can be done for many of the SCM providers, I assume Subversion as the implementation based on your tag. You can define your Subversion settings in $user.home/.scm/svn-settings.xml (or [maven home]/conf/.scm/svn-settings.xml, though this means they'll still be visible to users of the system) In that file you can set your username and password for the Subversion server. The file
