If you extend the maven-scm-providers pom like other providers, it will be more easy to start with
dependencies.

Hi Henrik!
I posted this yesterday as well. But I haven't got any response yet. So
I'll ask again.
I want to implement support for CM Synergy.
I'll be happy to help you.
I recently added the Bazaar provider (yet to be released) so I can
at least guide you through the same path that I took.
What baseline should I use?
Use the current development baseline.
http://maven.apache.org/scm/source-repository.html
<http://maven.apache.org/scm/source-repository.html>
What do I need to check out?
Start with:
maven-scm-api/
<http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/maven/scm/trunk/maven-scm-api/>
maven-scm-test/
<http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/maven/scm/trunk/maven-scm-test/>
And a reference provider eg. maven-scm-provider-bazaar/
<http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/maven/scm/trunk/maven-scm-providers/maven-scm-provider-bazaar/>
Perhapes choose one that is most similar to the CM Synergy
What class or interfaced do I need to implement?
What I did was change the implementation of an existing provider.
That way I got fast results and I learned the API one step at the time.
Basically what you need to implements is an (Abstract)ScmProvider and its
commands.
How can I test my provider?
1. Run unit tests from your IDE
The test classes in maven-scm-test was really helpfull to me. Try to include a
tck test
as soon as possible. See how the tck tests are implemented in the reference
provider (its a no brainer :).
It can be a bit tricky to setup your IDE to pickup your current modifications and not the installed
version of the provider. Let me know it this becomes a problem.
2. Build and install the provider and test it with eg. "mvn scm:checkout" on a
project where
you have defined a scm url in the pom.xml.
This was probably a too short answer. But if you post your questions as they
come,
I'll do my best to help you. And in the end I like to make a mave-scm howto
webpage
with all of this.
Good luck,
Torbjørn
