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>
