Maven Wagon SCM Usage

 You need to add some extensions to your pom:

 * <<<wagon-scm>>>,

 * {{{http://maven.apache.org/scm/maven-scm-managers/maven-scm-manager-plexus/index.html}<<<maven-scm-manager-plexus>>>}}

 * and the {{{http://maven.apache.org/scm/maven-scm-providers/index.html}Maven SCM Provider}} for your SCM system,

 []

 and use URLs in the {{{http://maven.apache.org/scm/scm-url-format.html}SCM format}}.
 
 For non-subversion SCM, you can include the elements <<<scmVersionType>>> and <<<scmVersion>>> in your <<<settings.xml>>> file to
 specify a branch or tag to use. The value of <<<scmVersionType>>> must be one of <<<branch>>> or <<<tag>>>.
 There is no default value for <<<scmVersionType>>> so you <MUST> specify it with <<<scmVersion>>> in order
 to have any effect.


Deploying your Maven site to SCM

 There are some shortcomings to simply using Wagon SCM provider with site plugin:

 * generated site may have inconsistent newlines (see {{{http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-121}MSITE-121}}),
 preventing SCM check-in,

 * deploying site to SCM will require obsolete pages deletion, which is not done,

 * site plugin way make one commit per file.

 Prefer {{{http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-scm-publish-plugin/}maven-scm-publish-plugin}} to
 publish your site to SCM

 <<Note for Maven 3 users:>> The site plugin behaves differently, require these
 be added as dependencies instead of extensions. See
 {{{http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/examples/adding-deploy-protocol.html}
 Adding a Protocol to Deploy the Site}}.

* Deploying your Maven site to Subversion

 Add the following extensions to your pom and use a wagon-scm url in the distributionManagement site url.

------
  <build>
    <extensions>
      <extension>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.wagon</groupId>
        <artifactId>wagon-scm</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
      </extension>
      <extension>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.scm</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-scm-manager-plexus</artifactId>
        <version>${mavenScmVersion}</version>
      </extension>
      <extension>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.scm</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-scm-provider-svnexe</artifactId>
        <version>${mavenScmVersion}</version>
      </extension>
    </extensions>
  </build>
  <distributionManagement>
    <site>
      <id>my.svn.server</id>
      <url>scm:svn:https://username@svn.apache.org/svn/root/module</url>
    </site>
  </distributionManagement>
------


* Deploying your Maven site to CVS

 Same as before, but changing svnexe to cvsexe and using a CVS svn url.

------
  <build>
    <extensions>
      <extension>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.wagon</groupId>
        <artifactId>wagon-scm</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
      </extension>
      <extension>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.scm</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-scm-manager-plexus</artifactId>
        <version>${mavenScmVersion}</version>
      </extension>
      <extension>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.scm</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-scm-provider-cvsexe</artifactId>
        <version>${mavenScmVersion}</version>
      </extension>
    </extensions>
  </build>
  <distributionManagement>
    <site>
      <id>my.cvs.server</id>
      <url>scm:cvs:ext:username@cvs.apache.org:/cvs/root:module</url>
    </site>
  </distributionManagement>
------


* Deploying your Maven site to GitHub's gh-pages

 Same as before, but changing svnexe to gitexe and using a Git svn url.

------
  <build>
    <extensions>
      <extension>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.wagon</groupId>
        <artifactId>wagon-scm</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
      </extension>
      <extension>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.scm</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-scm-manager-plexus</artifactId>
        <version>${mavenScmVersion}</version>
      </extension>
      <extension>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.scm</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-scm-provider-gitexe</artifactId>
        <version>${mavenScmVersion}</version>
      </extension>
    </extensions>
  </build>
  <distributionManagement>
    <site>
      <id>my.git.server</id>
      <url>scm:git:ssh://git@github.com/myuser/myproject.git</url>
    </site>
  </distributionManagement>
------

 And in your settings.xml file:

------
  <server>
    <id>my.git.server</id>
    <username>git</username>
    <scmVersionType>branch</scmVersionType>
    <scmVersion>gh-pages</scmVersion>
  </server>
------
