Hudson Perforce plugin - how can I automatically update versions without repeatedly triggering a build

I'm trying to get continuous integration working using Hudson, Maven & Perforce (with an scm poll used to trigger each build)

One of the requirements is to automatically update POM snapshot version numbers following each successful build.

This is trivial using the Maven release plugin, but the act of checking in the newly versioned POMs triggers another build - which continues ad infinitum.

Is there any way of checking in version updates without triggering another build? There doesn't seem to be any way of excluding specific user checkins, specific changelists, or specific files when the scm poll makes the decision to rebuild.

This seems like a basic requirement - been doing it for years using Cruise Control / Ant / Perforce,

Cheers,

Mark

TeamCity: Error on VCS update

Hey Guys, I have some trouble getting the VCS of teamcity work. I'm using perforce and the TC-Server should be configured correct, but when running the project I'm getting the error:

[Updating sources: server side checkout...] Error while applying patch: Failed to change text file: C:\Projects\BuildSrv7... C:\Projects\BuildSrv7.. (Access denied)

I checked the Settings and everybody has full rights in the directory.

And idea, what to do, or how this could happen?

Thanks in advance - Thomas
