Does the Maven Perforce plugin suddenly require a password?

Question

In my pom.xml, I have:

<scm> <connection>scm:perforce://path_to_my_repository</connection> </scm> 

This has been working until recently. Now when I create, I get the following message:

 "password is required for the perforce scm plugin." 

The maven documentation for the plugin does not indicate how to enable the password (http://maven.apache.org/scm/perforce.html).

What's happening? How to overcome this problem?

Answer 1

It turns out the error message did not match this issue. The “password” message appears to be publicly available when something goes wrong. We found that the error was caused by the incorrect dependency that was introduced. This has been fixed and the password request has disappeared.

Answer 2

You can use the plugin version with this error ( SCM-415 ). This question has problems.
