I've been using the buildnumber-maven-plugin to include the build date into
my META_INF/MANIFEST.MF file. I wish I could include an SCM revision
number, but unfortunately my company uses Perforce instead of SVN :(.
Including the build date has been a nice alternative, though. It's been
working great until this morning when Maven grabbed the 1.0-beta-4 version
of the buildnumber-maven-plugin. Now I get the following exception when
trying to build:
[INFO] [buildnumber:create {execution: default}]
[INFO] Storing buildNumber: 2009-11-24 10:31:22 MST at timestamp:

[INFO] Cannot get the branch information from the scm repository :

org.apache.maven.scm.provider.svn.repository.SvnScmProviderRepository
[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it no longer valid to use the buildnumber-maven-plugin without using SVN?
It's been really useful for storing the build date, but is this something
that is no longer supported? I didn't see anything in the docs that would
suggest that this is no longer supported. I can force my build to stay on
1.0-beta-3 and continue working, but I'm curious if this is a bug in
1.0-beta-4 or if it's not allowed anymore.
My plugin configuration looks like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>buildnumber-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>validate</phase>
<goals>
<goal>create</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<format>{0,date,yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z}</format>
<items>
<item>timestamp</item>
</items>
<doCheck>false</doCheck>
<doUpdate>false</doUpdate>
</configuration>
</plugin>
The full exception is this:
