-------------------------------
Summary: Please include Java-based SVN client
Key: SCM-718
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-718
Project: Maven SCM
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: maven-scm-provider-svn
Affects Versions: future
Reporter: Markus KARG
It is rather annoying that both major "Maven Embedders" (Eclipse IDE and
Jenkins CI Server) are able to talk to SVN Servers without the need to have
Subversion installed explicitly, but when running MVN:SCM mojos the same
containers "inherit" Maven SCM's need for a native and explicitly installed
Subversion client. :-(
It would be so great if the SCM:SVN implementation would include a Java-based
SVN client just as Eclipse and Jenkins do. For most use cases this would
simplify the admin's job by far (think of a Jenkins CI build farm for example,
where the admin currently needs to install SVN on each build slave), while all
others could still explicitly disable the built-in Java-based client,
effectively falling back to the current need of having SVN on disk.
