Hello All, After trying to figure out the scm:clearcase: URL structure and getting a successful message on both scm:validate and scm:update I went and did a verbose on mvn.bat to see the details:
>* mvn.bat scm:update -X > c:/myscm.log* even though it was successful i have this issue: There is no link with the URL in the clearcase scm plugin. I dont know why i went through with the effort to actually make my URL work. (and I dont even know if my URL is right) because the plugin never uses the URL in the first place. it just executes a clear tool command which i can execute as well through a batch file. this is the log section where the update command is executed [DEBUG] Configuring mojo org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-scm-plugin:1.6:update from plugin realm ClassRealm[plugin>org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-scm-plugin:1.6, parent: sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@f4a24a] [DEBUG] Configuring mojo 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-scm-plugin:1.6:update' with basic configurator --> [DEBUG] (f) basedir = D:\cc_views\Username_Local_finApp_Dev\Comps_Local_finApp_vob\finAppWeb [DEBUG] (f) connectionType = connection [DEBUG] (s) connectionUrl = scm:clearcase|\\remotehost\ccstg_d\views\CompanyName\Username|load /Comps_Local_finApp_vob|/Comps_Local_finApp_vob|Local_finApp_Dev [DEBUG] (f) developerConnectionUrl = scm:clearcase|\\remotehost\ccstg_d\views\CompanyName\Username|load /Comps_Local_finApp_vob|/Comps_Local_finApp_vob|Local_finApp_Dev [DEBUG] (s) excludes = target [DEBUG] (f) password = mypassword [DEBUG] (f) project = MavenProject: com.somcom:finAppWeb:1.0 @ D:\cc_views\Username_Local_finApp_Dev\Comps_Local_finApp_vob\finAppWeb\pom.xml [DEBUG] (f) pushChanges = true [DEBUG] (f) revisionKey = scm.revision [DEBUG] (f) runChangelog = false [DEBUG] (f) settings = org.apache.maven.execution.SettingsAdapter@537935 [DEBUG] (f) username = Username [DEBUG] -- end configuration -- [INFO] viewName = '//remotehost/ccstg_d/views/CompanyName/Username' ; configSpec = 'load /Comps_Local_finApp_vob' ; vobName = '/Comps_Local_finApp_vob' ; streamName = 'Local_finApp_Dev' ; elementName = 'null' [DEBUG] executing update command... /*[DEBUG] Executing: D:\cc_views\Username_Local_finApp_Dev\Comps_Local_finApp_vob\finAppWeb>>cmd.exe /X /C "cleartool update -f"*/ [DEBUG] Processing dir "Comps_Local_finApp_vob".

I dont mean any disrespect to the ppl who atcually came up with the scm plugin add on for clearcase, but my question is this: The URL can be anything even just characters as long as they have a format for an scm URL. but besides that the clearcase add on ony executes a clear tool command in the views directory. so why the URL or even the plugin, its a simple command. What I was expecting was this: using the clear case plugin, my maven will connect to the stream/vob in the server and update the view. What it did was execute a command for which the URl was not necessary at all. I dont think the password and user name is needed either. (i think the cleacase-settings.xml is also not used here in this case.) Is this the normal way of usage of the plugin or am i doing something wrong. I will appreciate if any one can clear my confusion here.
