This is severely underdocumented, here's what you get by reading the source code:
SCM contains an error message which says: The scm url must be on the form 'scm:<scm provider><delimiter><provider specific part>' where <delimiter> can be either ':' or '|'. However, this is misleading. If you check the code, what it should say is this: The scm url must be on the form 'scm<delimiter><scm provider><delimiter><provider specific part>' where <delimiter> can be either ':' or '|'. (DefaultScmManager checks for the delimiter in the 4th character.) cvs supports a method called 'local', not to be confused with SCM's support for a 'local' SCM provider: scm|local|path_to_repository|module_name As to meaning of repository and module_name - the meanings are as for CVS, ie the repository is the root directory of where version control stores all the versions of all your projects; individual projects are called 'modules'. Hence I'd expect if you have a directory structure something like: C:\blah\myrepo\myproject1\project.xml C:\blah\myrepo\myproject1\src\java\RocketPower.java C:\blah\myrepo\myproject2\project.xml C:\blah\myrepo\myproject2\src\java\waterbased\Hydrophones.java Then you could use SCM URLs like scm|local|C:/blah/myrepo/|myproject1 scm|local|C:/blah/myrepo/|myproject2 NB I used forward slashes in the URL. This doesnt matter too much as SCM changes backslashes into forward slashes for you, but there are some circumstances - e.g. writing the URL as a java string, or in a properties file - where backslashes are special, so the habit of using forward slashes in URLs avoids errors. If you tried to use the ':' delimiter in the SCM URL above: scm:local:C:/blah/myrepo/:myproject2 You can see the delimiter now splits the URL into 5 components where SCM expected 4, hence it'll complain this is an invalid URL. If you want to know more about CVS, you'll need to read up on it. The manual is everywhere on the web, just google for it. -Baz On 11/2/05, Malcolm Wong Ho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From the Continuum web interface I try to change the Scm Url from the > 'Update Continuum Project' page, with this format > 'scm:local:path_to_repository:module_name' then I get an error 'Enter > the Maven SCM URL [ You must provide an scm url ]', but if I enter > this format 'scm:cvs:local:path_to_repository:module_name' it saves the > changes.
