I already submitted a patch to maven to make error message more useful, so the root cause of the problem will be obvious (http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs/maven/maven-1/plugins/trunk/changelog/src/main/org/apache/maven/cvslib/CvsChangeLogGenerator.java?view=diff&rev=126033&p1=maven/maven-1/plugins/trunk/changelog/src/main/org/apache/maven/cvslib/CvsChangeLogGenerator.java&r1=126032&p2=maven/maven-1/plugins/trunk/changelog/src/main/org/apache/maven/cvslib/CvsChangeLogGenerator.java&r2=126033) and they've already committed it. At least it will help people with the newest version. :)
Since CVS is the default scm, it gives that error message when you use svn. You need to add the following to your project.properties: maven.changelog.factory = org.apache.maven.svnlib.SvnChangeLogFactory See the changelog plugin for more details. if had instead got the new error message: repository connection string does not specify 'cvs' as the scm If using another scm, maven.changelog.factory must be set. See the maven changelog plugin documentation for correct settings. Is that clear enough?
