There is a lot of contradicting statements regarding whether ANT or Maven support Dimensions (NOT PVCS). Does anyone with real hands on experience know if there exists a reliable, production grade/ready plugin or task for Dimensions? I basically just need to be able to use Maven (preferably) or Ant to grab some revision in Dimensions and build from it.

To my knowledge, Dimensions is not supported by the SCM plugin. Maybe there is an Ant Task that you could call from AntRun but I couldn't find it.

I did see that wiki. Do you think it is accurate? Also, it seems hudson-CI does support Dimensions CM. What I don't get is, how does Hudson-CI build a java/j2ee project, one would think it certainly isn't use maven/ant with regards to this plugin: http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Dimensions+Plugin

@Zombies Yes, I think the wiki is accurate, the Maven SCM plugin doesn't support Dimensions CM. And I'm not sure to understand your question about Hudson and its Dimensions plugin (interacting with a VCS and building are two different things).

I am under the impression that Hudson CI will build an EAR file by grabbing a revision from Dimensions. I was wondering what it used to build.

@Zombies It does grab a revision from Dimensions but this doesn't prevent the build to be done by Maven.
