Maven BuildNumber Plugin Git SSH

Question

I have a maven project that uses the buildnumber-maven-plugin and I have changed my git remote as I moved the project from GitLab to GitHub, but now when I try to run mvn clean install I get the error

ssh: Could not resolve hostname github.com:lukebrewerton: Name or service not known
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

But I can clone the GH repo using my command line and push/pull etc, it just seems to be the maven command that doesn't work.

My pom.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Answer 1

We have two issues here:

• The format in the POM does not correspond to the one required: scm:git:ssh://server_name[:port]/path_to_repository (https://maven.apache.org/scm/git.html).
• The URL passed to Git does not correspond to the formats Git supports: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-pull#URLS

As far as I can see, the clone button in GitHub provides an invalid URL for both Maven and Git itself. Otherwise you should file this with SCM and I will take a look at it.
