[mojo-user] maven buildnumber plugin issues

[Gourab Dash]

Hello folks,
i m getting error using this plugin.

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal
org.codehaus.mojo:buildnumber-maven-plugin:1.0-beta-4:create (default) on
project : Execution default of goal
org.codehaus.mojo:buildnumber-maven-plugin:1.0-beta-4:create failed: The
scm url cannot be null. -> [Help 1]


i m nt using scm in pom.xml and using svn plugin from jenkins.



the plugin is as follows
 <plugin>
     <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
     <artifactId>buildnumber-maven-plugin</artifactId>
     <version>1.0-beta-4</version>
     <executions>
      <execution>
       <phase>validate</phase>
       <goals>
        <goal>create</goal>
       </goals>
      </execution>
     </executions>
     <configuration>
      <doCheck>false</doCheck>
      <doUpdate>false</doUpdate>
      <revisionOnScmFailure>true</revisionOnScmFailure>
        <format>${version}.{0,number}</format>
      <items>
       <item>buildNumber</item>
      </items>
     </configuration>
   </plugin>










However if i use the below plugin,it gets successful.but i m nt able to get
the timestamp printed on the buildNumber.properties.
the plugin as below

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>buildnumber-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-beta-3</version>
 <configuration>
      <buildNumberPropertyName>buildNumber.value</buildNumberPropertyName>
      <timestampPropertyName>buildNumber.timestamp</timestampPropertyName>

        <format>{0,number}</format>

           <items>
            <item>buildNumber</item>
        <item>timestamp</item>
      </items>
    </configuration>

 <executions>
      <execution>
        <phase>validate</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>create</goal>
        </goals>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>
