Hi, The repository connection(s) you define in the project.xml are there for 2 (or possibly more) reasons: 1. documentation -> when you generate the site, a web page is created to show interested developers where to get the source 2. source code management -> several plugins allow actions to be taken using the repository connections.
ad 1. It is very nice to know how to get the source, or how to browse the source. See this kind of pages like the project summaries of projects hosted on sourceforge: - list of developers - mailinglists - license - sourcecode repository - etc. ad 2. Most notably, the SCM plugin utilizes the connection strings (). It is possible to update your project (scm:update-project), or to prepare and perform a release. Best way is to look at the plugin itself, even though the documentation is not up to standards. As for the project layout: normally you will only commit the project.xml, maven.xml, project.properties files, and src directory to CVS (or whatever SCM you use). Especially the target subdirectory should be added to a .cvsignore file in order to disregard changes to that directory (very frequently).
