Maven to SVN repository - maven-3

Question

I am trying to connect maven to SVN repository using valid credentials. My pom.xml file is as follows,
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.maven.myfirstproject</groupId>
<artifactId>myfirstproject</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<build>
<scm>
<connection>scm:svn:http://d-113017553/svn/PRONTO/trunk/dev</connection>
<developerConnection>scm:svn:http://d-113017553/svn/PRONTO/trunk/dev</developerConnection>
</scm>
<servers>
<id>central</id>
<username>keerthana</username>
<password>keerthana</password>
<url>http://d-113017553/svn/PRONTO/trunk/dev</url>
</servers>
<plugin>
<groupid>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupid>
<artifactid>maven-scm-plugin</artifactid>
<version>1.8.1</version>
</plugin>
</build>
</project>
When i run it i get the following errors,
**1)coreException : could not calculate build plan: plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler:2.3.2 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved:Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:jar:2.3.2
2)Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration:org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.3.2:testCompile(execution:default-testCompile,phase:test-compile)**
Would anyone help me out to solve the above errors pls?????

Answer 1

First your pom.xml file can contain the information about VCS but you have to follow the schema for the pom.xml file which can get a good impression about here.
Furthermore it's good practice to indent XML file correctly like this:
<scm>
<connection>scm:svn:http://svn.server.com/svn/my-project/trunk</connection>
<developerConnection>scm:svn:https://svn.server.com/svn/my-project/trunk</developerConnection>
<url>http://svn.server.com/websvn/my-project</url>
</scm>
Apart from the above the things like this:
<servers>
<id>central</id>
<username>keerthana</username>
<password>keerthana</password>
<url>http://d-113017553/svn/PRONTO/trunk/dev</url>
</servers>
do not belong into the pom.xml. They should be put into the setting.xml file in your home folder (usually $HOME/.m2/settings.xml). And of course should you never put credentials into your pom file.
