I’m using maven-scm-plugin from within an own Maven Mojo via an injected ScmManager object and am trying to figure out how to add a file to the SCM ignore list.
The methods that ScmManager provides don’t seem to support this.
An ideal solution would work in all SCM systems that maven-scm-plugin supports. I’m not sure though if every system has such a feature. That said, a solution which only works with Subversion repositories would help me as well.
The corresponding SVN command would be something like
svn propset svn:ignore -F theFile .
If ScmManager cannot directly set ignore lists, maybe it has an ability to set these kind of SCM properties?
The SCM Manager is an abstraction of more or less all version control tools so i think it would never offer such a functionality. But why do you need such a thing in Maven ? Maven is a build tool…Mabe you can create a separate stand-alone Maven Plugin to handle such things if you need for SVN only.
