I have had it up to HERE with maven! I finally get things working and running, and then I have attempted to do my first maven release:prepare using an external maven runtime THROUGH m2eclipse.
Here is the issue I am experiencing:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.0:prepare (default-cli) on project scs-global-parent: Unable to commit files
[ERROR] Provider message: The svn command failed.
Command output: svn: The path 'C:\Users\Sam\MyProj\model\scs-global-parent' appears to be part of a Subversion 1.7 or greater working copy. Please upgrade your Subversion client to use this working copy.
I am using Subclipse 1.8.x - which supports 1.7 working copies? There must be a workaround ... what am I missing here?? Do I need to add an "experimental" version of the maven-release-plugin? Currently I am using the "default" in that I don't have a version specified in my pom or settings.xml. Thank you!!
Which "subversion client" is the plugin yelling at me about?
Maven will be using whatever subversion you have on your system accessible from the command line.
Check that the version of Subversion that runs from command line. (use svn --version from a command prompt or shell). Upgrade that particular version of Subversion on your system and it should work.
