Hi, at least under Windows 10 and Maven 3.5.4, the handy Check Out... feature at [Maven project] > Dependencies > [artifact] > View Artifact Details > Project > Source Control Management > Check Out... is broken. After filling the dialog and pressing CheckOut, the Maven error "The goal you specified requires a project to execute but there is no POM in this directory ..." is occurring every time.
It is caused by a space after -Dpassword in the Maven command line: ...mvn.cmd -DcheckoutDirectory=... -DconnectionUrl=... -Dusername=<user> -Dpassword =<password> ... scm:checkout Instead, it should be "... -Dpassword=<password> ...". I have done some analysis: * The according code is at https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/blob/2d76c29ffbafd5d92a6cdbc4a66a9b51f63fa0eb/java/maven/src/org/netbeans/modules/maven/actions/scm/ui/CheckoutUI.java#L359 * It's there since ever: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/diff/8559551465d2/maven/src/org/netbeans/modules/maven/actions/scm/ui/CheckoutUI.java * I am pretty sure it was working for me some years ago (didn't code intensively for longer). Maybe it depends on how Windows is interpreting the space in 7 vs. 10 or it's the Maven bat vs. cmd command, etc. * I have removed the space in CheckoutUI.java, complied and tested. It fixes the issue. Maybe someone could execute this easy patch? I was wondering if I should submit a (micro) change request but as per https://netbeans.apache.org/participate/submit-pr.html , I shall create a Jira issue first. But sorry, how to do so? I know that it's possible to commit Exceptions from within NetBeans, but how shall I create a Jira issue without an Exception and no corresponding account? Thanks a lot for your great work and for considering this request, Mark
