Using Perforce

The maven-changelog-plugin uses Maven SCM as an underlying layer, when accessing your SCM system. When Maven SCM is working with Perforce it needs a clientspec. This is provided by setting system properties that are then read by Maven SCM.

Configuring this is done in the same way as for the maven-scm-plugin. So if you have a working configuration for maven-scm-plugin, you can just copy those lines over to your maven-changelog-plugin configuration. The following configuration shows an example of what this can look like.

<project>
 ...
 <reporting>
 <plugins>
 <plugin>
 <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
 <artifactId>maven-changelog-plugin</artifactId>
 <version>3.0.0-M1</version>
 <configuration>
 <systemProperties>
 <property>
 <name>maven.scm.perforce.clientspec.name</name>
 <value>your.perforce.clientspec.name</value>
 </property>
 </systemProperties>
 </configuration>
 </plugin>
 </plugins>
 </reporting>
 ...
</project>
