Pull Repository Info From SCM URL #11

Closed JakeWharton closed 12 years ago

JakeWharton commented 12 years ago

It seems the plugin pulls repository info from the POM's general <url> tag which often is not a link to a project repository. Instead use the <url> tag in the <scm> tree.

<project>
    <url>http://example.com/awesome</url>
    <scm>
        <url>http://github.com/example/awesome</url>
    </scm>
</project>

It tries to parse it from multiple sources in this order:

You can also explicitly configure it using two separate configuration values, repositoryName and repositoryOwner.

Ah, makes sense. I had an extreme edge case where both the url and the scm.url were both defined to point to GitHub repos but only the scm.url was my project. Probably not something the average user would run in to. Nor did I bother digging in the code as it was getting late.

Thanks for the explanation.

You bring up a good point though, I think the heuristics should check the project.url last and not first since the scm elements are much more likely to always be GitHub URLs.

This has been released in version 0.6 of the site plugin and version 0.5 of the downloads plugin and is available from Maven Central.
