Hi, AFAIK, there is nothing you can do to avoid the project being checked out of SVN in order to build it.
So ***If I understand your question correctly*** you are looking for a maven command that will do the checkout for you and then build locally, do you also want it to tidy up afterwards for you (i.e. delete the checked out files) leaving the built artifacts in either the local Maven Repository (if you went for install) or the remote Maven Repository (if you went for deploy)? The closest I can see for you is: http://maven.apache.org/scm/plugins/examples/bootstrapping-with-pom.html Though that would still require a pom.xml file to tell Maven what to check-out and build. With regards to being forced to move to ClearCase... I too am interested in how well the integration with ClearCase works, especially w.r.t. the release plugin. I can't help wondering if we are working for the same company... (quickly checks corporate email directory... many Joshis, no Harshal)... nope, so my employers are not the only people who drank the ClearCase kool-aid ;-) -Stephen. 2008/12/5 Harshal Joshi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi All, > > We are using SVN for repository for many of our projects, earlier for build > I use to get latest from SVN and copy it to my local directory and from > there I use to build it.
