I didn't use the scm plugin for cvs for a long time. This problem is due to the fact that you must install a cvs client on your machine and put it on your PATH The current SCM plugin for maven 1 (i'm not sure for maven 2) isn't yet a full java component. It's only a wrapper above the cvs executable.
What you need to do for cvs actually is (if my memory is good) : - install cvs on your machine - Add it in your path - logon to the server with cvs login -D.... After that you can use maven to do a checkout, an update ...
