-Bootstrapping a Project Using a POM
-
- Using the <<<scm:bootstrap>>> a project can be build from a fresh copy of the 
source in the scm repository.
- This is a convenient way to distribute a project because the bootstrap pom 
can be given to a developer to generate
- the maven build environment for the project.
-
- The <<<pom.xml>>> should contain a scm configuration for the bootstrap to 
work.
-
-+-----------+
-<project>
-  ...
-  <packaging>jar</packaging>
-  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
-  <name>SCM Sample Project</name>
-  <url>http://somecompany.com</url>
-  <scm>
-    <connection>scm:svn:http://somerepository.com/svn_repo/trunk</connection>
-    
<developerConnection>scm:svn:https://somerepository.com/svn_repo/trunk</developerConnection>
-    <url>http://somerepository.com/view.cgi</url>
-  </scm>
-  ...
-  <build>
-    ...
-    <plugins>
-      <plugin>
-        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
-        <artifactId>maven-scm-plugin</artifactId>
-        <version>${project.version}</version>
-        <configuration>
-          <goals>install</goals>
-        </configuration>
-      </plugin>
-    </plugins>
-    ...
-  </build>
-  ...
-</project>
-+-----------+
-
- Assuming the scm configuration has been configured in the <<<pom.xml>>>, 
bootstrapping can be invoked by
-
-+---------+
-   mvn scm:bootstrap
-+---------+
-
- or in case of a multimodule project, bootstrapping should be invoked as
-
-+---------+
-   mvn scm:bootstrap -N
-+---------+
-
- By default the scm plugin will get the latest version from the trunk and 
generate it under <<<target/checkout>>> and execute
- the configured goals in it.
-
-Configuring Authentication
-
- Most public repositories requires developers to authenticate first before 
they can pull the source from the repository.
- For repositories requiring authentication, the scm plugin needs to be 
configured in one of the following ways:
-
- * In the <<<poml.xml>>>
-
-+-----------+
-<project>
-  ...
-  <build>
-    ...
-    <plugins>
-      <plugin>
-        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
-        <artifactId>maven-scm-plugin</artifactId>
-        <version>${project.version}</version>
-        <configuration>
-          <username>username</username>
-          <password>password</password>
-        </configuration>
-      </plugin>
-    </plugins>
-    ...
-  </build>
-  ...
-</project>
-+-----------+
-
- * In the <<<settings.xml>>> via a <<<server>>> entry, using the host name 
from the connection URL as the server id
-
-+-----------+
-<settings>
-  ...
-  <servers>
-    <server>
-      <id>hostname</id>
-      <username>username</username>
-      <password>password</password>
-    </server>
-  </servers>
-  ...
-</settings>
-+-----------+
- 
-   Since version 1.5, the plugin also recognizes 
{{{http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-encryption.html}encrypted 
passwords}}.

-Maven SCM Plugin
-
- The SCM Plugin offers vendor independent access to common scm commands by 
offering a set
- of command mappings for the configured scm. Each command is implemented as a 
goal.
-
-* Goals Overview
-
- The SCM Plugin has the following goals:
-
- * {{{./add-mojo.html}scm:add}} - command to add file
-
- * {{{./bootstrap-mojo.html}scm:bootstrap}} - command to checkout and build a 
project
-
- * {{{./branch-mojo.html}scm:branch}} - branch the project
-
- * {{{./changelog-mojo.html}scm:changelog}} - command to show the source code 
revisions
-
- * {{{./check-local-modification-mojo.html}scm:check-local-modification}} - 
fail the build if there is any local modifications
-
- * {{{./checkin-mojo.html}scm:checkin}} - command for commiting changes
-
- * {{{./checkout-mojo.html}scm:checkout}} - command for getting the source code
-
- * {{{./diff-mojo.html}scm:diff}} - command for showing the difference of the 
working copy with the remote one
-
- * {{{./edit-mojo.html}scm:edit}} - command for starting edit on the working 
copy
-
- * {{{./export-mojo.html}scm:export}} - command to get a fresh exported copy
-
- * {{{./list-mojo.html}scm:list}} - command for get the list of project files
-
- * {{{./remove-mojo.html}scm:remove}} - command to mark a set of files for 
deletion
-
- * {{{./status-mojo.html}scm:status}} - command for showing the scm status of 
the working copy
-
- * {{{./tag-mojo.html}scm:tag}} - command for tagging a certain revision
-
- * {{{./unedit-mojo.html}scm:unedit}} - command to stop editing the working 
copy
-
- * {{{./update-mojo.html}scm:update}} - command for updating the working copy 
with the latest changes
-
- * {{{./update-subprojects-mojo.html}scm:update-subprojects}} - command for 
updating all projects in a multi project build
-
- * {{{./validate-mojo.html}scm:validate}} - validate the scm information in 
the pom
-
- []
-
-* Usage
-
-  General instructions on how to use the SCM Plugin can be found on the 
{{{./usage.html}usage page}}. Some more
-  specific use cases are described in the examples given below.
-
-  In case you still have questions regarding the plugin's usage, please feel
-  free to contact the {{{./mailing-lists.html}user mailing list}}. The posts 
to the mailing list are archived and could
-  already contain the answer to your question as part of an older thread. 
Hence, it is also worth browsing/searching
-  the {{{./mailing-lists.html}mail archive}}.
-
-  If you feel like the plugin is missing a feature or has a defect, you can 
fill a feature request or bug report in our
-  {{{./issue-management.html}issue tracker}}. When creating a new issue, 
please provide a comprehensive description of your
-  concern. Especially for fixing bugs it is crucial that the developers can 
reproduce your problem. For this reason,
-  entire debug logs, POMs or most preferably little demo projects attached to 
the issue are very much appreciated.

-Usage
-
- The SCM Plugin maps a lot of commands to a variety of scm implementations. 
But there are only 2 frequently
- used commands:
-
-  * checkin - commit the changes to the remote repository ( scm server ).
-
-  * update - updates the local working copy with the one from the remote 
repository ( scm server ).
-
-  []
-
-Configuring SCM
-
- Each scm has a different command line invocation to commit the modified 
sources. Using maven this process is
- simplified by providing a uniform way to do this by letting maven handle the 
command line translation to perform
- the scm task.
-
- To configure the scm support for maven you need the 
{{{http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#SCM}scm}} configuration in your 
<<<pom.xml>>>.

-
- Maven will use the information embedded in the scm configuration to determine 
the command mapping for the scm command.
- The scm configuration url is composed of different information that defines 
the mapping:
-
-+------+
-   scm:svn:http://somerepository.com/svn_repo/trunk
-   <service name>:<scm implementation>:<repository url>
-+------+
-
-  Check the {{{http://maven.apache.org/scm/scms-overview.html}maven scm list}} 
for the list of supported SCMs.
-
-Committing and updating changes through Maven
-
- Assuming that SCM has been configured in the <<<pom.xml>>> and the project 
directory is managed by a SCM, invoking
- the checkin goal in the scm will start the commit process for all configured

+# Bootstrapping a Project Using a POM
+
+Using the `scm:bootstrap` a project can be build from a fresh copy of the 
source in the scm repository. This is a convenient way to distribute a project 
because the bootstrap POM can be given to a developer to generate the Maven 
build environment for the project.
+
+The `pom.xml` should contain an SCM configuration for the bootstrap to work.
+
+```unknown
+<project>
+  ...
+  <packaging>jar</packaging>
+  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
+  <name>SCM Sample Project</name>
+  <url>http://somecompany.com</url>
+  <scm>
+    <connection>scm:svn:http://somerepository.com/svn_repo/trunk</connection>
+    
<developerConnection>scm:svn:https://somerepository.com/svn_repo/trunk</developerConnection>
+    <url>http://somerepository.com/view.cgi</url>
+  </scm>
+  ...
+  <build>
+    ...
+    <plugins>
+      <plugin>
+        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
+        <artifactId>maven-scm-plugin</artifactId>
+        <version>${project.version}</version>
+        <configuration>
+          <goals>install</goals>
+        </configuration>
+      </plugin>
+    </plugins>
+    ...
+  </build>
+  ...
+</project>
+```
+
+Assuming the SCM configuration has been configured in the `pom.xml`, 
bootstrapping can be invoked by
+
+```unknown
+   mvn scm:bootstrap
+```
+
+or in case of a multi-module project, bootstrapping should be invoked as
+
+```unknown
+   mvn scm:bootstrap -N
+```
+
+By default the SCM plugin will get the latest version from the repository in 
its default branch and generate it under `target/checkout` and execute the 
configured goals in it.
+
+# Configuring Authentication
+
+Most public repositories require developers to authenticate first before they 
can pull the source from the repository. For repositories requiring 
authentication, the SCM plugin needs to be [configured 
accordingly](../../authentication.html).

+# Other SCM Commands
+
+The SCM plugin requires the SCM to be configured in the `pom.xml`.
+
+```unknown
+<project>
+  ...
+  <packaging>jar</packaging>
+  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
+  <name>SCM Sample Project</name>
+  <url>http://somecompany.com</url>
+  <scm>
+    <connection>scm:svn:http://somerepository.com/svn_repo/trunk</connection>
+

+    <url>http://somerepository.com/view.cgi</url>
+  </scm>
+  ...
+</project>
+```
+
+Alternatively you can configure the SCM url also in via plugin parameters.
+
+If you want to change the used SCM provider implementation, for example you 
want to use the JGit instead of the CLI based default implementation, you must 
configure your plugin like that:
+
+```unknown
+<project>
+  ...
+  <build>
+    ...
+    <plugins>
+      <plugin>
+        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
+        <artifactId>maven-scm-plugin</artifactId>

+      </plugin>
+      ...
+    </plugins>
+    ...
+  </build>
+  ...

+# Maven SCM Plugin
+
+The SCM Plugin offers vendor independent access to common scm commands by 
offering a set of command mappings for the configured scm. Each command is 
implemented as a goal.
+
+## Goals Overview
+
+The SCM Plugin has the following goals:
+
+- [scm:add](./add-mojo.html) - command to add file
+- [scm:bootstrap](./bootstrap-mojo.html) - command to checkout and build a 
project
+- [scm:branch](./branch-mojo.html) - branch the project
+- [scm:changelog](./changelog-mojo.html) - command to show the source code 
revisions
+- [scm:check-local-modification](./check-local-modification-mojo.html) - fail 
the build if there is any local modifications
+- [scm:checkin](./checkin-mojo.html) - command for commiting changes
+- [scm:checkout](./checkout-mojo.html) - command for getting the source code
+- [scm:diff](./diff-mojo.html) - command for showing the difference of the 
working copy with the remote one
+- [scm:edit](./edit-mojo.html) - command for starting edit on the working copy
+- [scm:export](./export-mojo.html) - command to get a fresh exported copy
+- [scm:list](./list-mojo.html) - command for get the list of project files
+- [scm:remove](./remove-mojo.html) - command to mark a set of files for 
deletion
+- [scm:status](./status-mojo.html) - command for showing the scm status of the 
working copy
+- [scm:tag](./tag-mojo.html) - command for tagging a certain revision
+- [scm:unedit](./unedit-mojo.html) - command to stop editing the working copy
+- [scm:update](./update-mojo.html) - command for updating the working copy 
with the latest changes
+- [scm:update-subprojects](./update-subprojects-mojo.html) - command for 
updating all projects in a multi project build
+- [scm:validate](./validate-mojo.html) - validate the scm information in the 
pom
+## Usage
+
+General instructions on how to use the SCM Plugin can be found on the [usage 
page](./usage.html). Some more specific use cases are described in the examples 
given below.
+
+In case you still have questions regarding the plugin&apos;s usage, please 
feel free to contact the [user mailing list](./mailing-lists.html). The posts 
to the mailing list are archived and could already contain the answer to your 
question as part of an older thread. Hence, it is also worth browsing/searching 
the [mail archive](./mailing-lists.html).
+
+If you feel like the plugin is missing a feature or has a defect, you can fill 
a feature request or bug report in our [issue 
tracker](./issue-management.html). When creating a new issue, please provide a 
comprehensive description of your concern. Especially for fixing bugs it is 
crucial that the developers can reproduce your problem. For this reason, entire 
debug logs, POMs or most preferably little demo projects attached to the issue 
are very much appreciated. Of course, patches are wel [...]

+# Usage
+
+The SCM Plugin maps a lot of commands to a variety of SCM implementations. But 
there are only 2 frequently used commands:
+
+- `checkin` - commit the changes to the remote repository \( SCM server \).
+- `update` - updates the local working copy with the one from the remote 
repository \( SCM server \).
+
+# Configuring SCM
+
+Each SCM has a different command line/library API invocation to commit the 
modified sources. Using Maven this process is simplified by providing a uniform 
way to do this by letting Maven handle the API/CLI translation to perform the 
SCM task.
+
+To configure the SCM support for Maven you need the 
[SCM](http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#SCM) configuration in your `pom.xml`.
+
+```unknown
+<project>
+  ...
+  <packaging>jar</packaging>
+  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
+  <name>SCM Sample Project</name>
+  <url>http://somecompany.com</url>
+  <scm>
+    <connection>scm:svn:http://somerepository.com/svn_repo/trunk</connection>
+    
<developerConnection>scm:svn:https://somerepository.com/svn_repo/trunk</developerConnection>
+    <url>http://somerepository.com/view.cgi</url>
+  </scm>
+  ...
+</project>
+```
+
+Maven will use the information embedded in the SCM configuration to determine 
the used SCM provider (implementation) and the remote repository URL. The SCM 
configuration URL is composed of different information that define the mapping:
+
+```unknown
+   scm:svn:http://somerepository.com/svn_repo/trunk
+   <service name>:<scm implementation>:<repository url>
+```
+
+Check the [Maven SCM list](http://maven.apache.org/scm/scms-overview.html) for 
the list of supported SCMs.
+
+# Committing and updating changes through Maven
+
+Assuming that SCM has been configured in the `pom.xml` and the project 
directory is managed by a SCM, invoking the checkin goal in the SCM will start 
the commit process for all configured sources in your `pom.xml`.

 # Maven SCM
 
 Maven SCM supports Maven plugins \(for example 
[maven-release-plugin](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/)\)
