If you don't own the project, it is a bit more involved. In that case you would have to export the project and then import it to your svn repo and then update the scm and distribution management sections accordingly. Also remember to change the version of the project to distinguish it from the next "proper" release of the actual project. So, for example, if the current version is:
2.1-SNAPSHOT Give it a version like: 2.1-dave-1-SNAPSHOT sSo that you don't collide with the next official release. --- Todd Thiessen > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian E.
