I had a look at the scm source and found the error message that you got.
IIUC you need to call
DefaultScmManager.setScmProvider( String providerType, ScmProvider
provider )
somewhere in your code. That would register "aci" as a valid ScmProvider
in the ScmManager. I'm not sure where to so this though...

Greetings
It's been a few weeks, but I've finally gotten around to working on my
custom provider. I am trying to get the absolute minimum framework
written, after which I will have a contractor do the heavy lifting. I
though it might be good to write just enough code to connect to the
repository, but thought I'd make the "discovery" process work first, so
here's what Ive got. I know it isn't much but until the discovery
portion works, the rest of the code can't really be tested.
The provider
=================
package com.ph.buildtools.scm.provider;
// imports removed for brevity
/**
* @plexus.component role="org.apache.maven.scm.provider.ScmProvider"
role-hint="aci"
**/
public class CustomScmProvider extends AbstractScmProvider {
public ScmProviderRepository makeProviderScmRepository(String url,
char delimiter)
throws ScmRepositoryException {
return new CustomScmProviderRepository();
}
public String getScmType() {
return "aci";
}
}
The repository
============
package com.ph.buildtools.scm.repository;
// imports removed for brevity
/**
* Contains the repository information.
**/
public class CustomScmProviderRepository extends
ScmProviderRepositoryWithHost {
public CustomScmProviderRepository() {}
}
The POM
