Description

Hello,

I am trying to use the maven-release-plugin against the Borland Starteam SCM provider and during the execution of release:prepare the goal throws an errror because it maven-release-plugin has no access to edit pom file. Here I show you the message error.

[INFO] [release:prepare]

I have realized that the maven-release-plugin uses the following starteam command:
stcmd lck -x -nologo -stop -p user:password@StarteamServer:StarteamPort/StarteamProject/StarteamProject/ProjectExample -fp C:\StarteamServer\StarteamProject\StarteamView\ProjectExample -l pom.xml

This command doesn't work if the Starteam project has checked the policy : "Mark unlocked working files read-only". This policy makes any file checked out as a read-only file in the working directory. An when a lock operation is performed changes the flag to allow writing to it. When a unlock operation is perform changes again the flag to restrict the read-only access.

The correction to the command is just add to the end the argument "-rw" as is shown below:
stcmd lck -x -nologo -stop -p user:password@StarteamServer:StarteamPort/StarteamProject/StarteamProject/ProjectExample -fp C:\StarteamServer\StarteamProject\StarteamView\ProjectExample -l -rw pom.xml

Here I provide the patch for the StarteamEditCommand.java and the fix for the test case

Do you want me to provide also the patch for the StarteamUnEditCommand.java?
