[JENKINS-12877] Problem to configure perforce plugin and maven release plugin

Hi,

I try to use jenkins maven release plugin on Jenkins with a perforce SCM.

However, I have a weird error. In debug mode I see the following messages :

[DEBUG] SCM path in pom: //depot/AirTravelServer/main/

[DEBUG] Executing: /bin/sh -c p4 -p srvpar5p4p01:1992 where /home/www-data/.jenkins/jobs/ATS-TRUNK-RELEASE/workspace/pom.xml

[DEBUG] p4 can not support a wide charset unless

and the stacktrace :

Caused by: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -2

	at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1937)

	at org.apache.maven.scm.provider.perforce.command.PerforceWhereCommand.getDepotLocation(PerforceWhereCommand.java:117)

	at org.apache.maven.scm.provider.perforce.command.PerforceWhereCommand.getDepotLocation(PerforceWhereCommand.java:61)

	at org.apache.maven.scm.command.status.AbstractStatusCommand.executeCommand(AbstractStatusCommand.java:44)

	at org.apache.maven.scm.command.AbstractCommand.execute(AbstractCommand.java:59)

The problem is due to : "p4 can not support a wide charset unless"

I've configured P4CHARSET to utf16le-bom and I've tried several different charsets for P4COMMANDCHARSET : winansi, utf8, none

The problem exists only for maven release plugin. I don't have this error with mvn install.

Do you know what is the right configuration to make it works ?
