[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHANGELOG-47?page=comments#action_74927 ] Brad Szabo commented on MCHANGELOG-47: --------------------------------------
I agree, this plugin needs some better documentation. You can create an empty .cvspass file in your home directory to gain anonymous access. The username must have a delimiter after it i.e. scm:cvs:pserver:anonymous:@cvs.apache.org:/cvs/root:module You can also add the Maven snapshot repository to your pom pluginRespositories to download the latest version. http://people.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository The snapshot is located at http://people.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-changelog-plugin/ > Cannot find .cvspass file. Documentation not up-to-date. > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MCHANGELOG-47 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHANGELOG-47 > Project: Maven 2.x Changelog Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-1 > Environment: Maven2 on Windows in Eclipse with CVS (anonymous pserver) > Maven2 on GenToo in CruiseControl with CVS (anonymous pserver) > Reporter: Paul R. Saxman > > I've run into a few issues while using this plugin, which are as follows: > - When I try to run the Maven 2 changelog plugin in Eclipse or using > CruiseControl, I get an error that the file .cvspass cannot be found. > - I've found a reference to the .cvspass file on the Maven 1 plugin > documentation, but not in the Maven 2 documentation. > - The Maven 2 documentation specifies to use the groupId > org.apache.maven.plugins for the plugin, which doesn't exist on ibiblio. The > plugin actually exists at org.codehaus.mojo; HOWEVER, it is not documented as > being part of Mojo at http://mojo.codehaus.org. > - When I follow the Maven 1 instructions to generate the .cvspass file, I get > the error "The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-changelog-plugin' does > not exist or no valid version could be found". > - Passing in a password (which doesn't really exist since I'm using an > anonymous pserver) using the Maven 2 plugin "password" parameter has no > effect, which is consistent with the documentation. Is there any way to not > bother with a password or to specify an empty password? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
