[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHANGELOG-47?page=comments#action_74935 ] Brad Szabo commented on MCHANGELOG-47: --------------------------------------
I take that back, you cannot just create an empty .cvspass file in your home directory to gain anonymous access, but if you actually connect to that CVS server and login, it will create an anonymous entry that should enable the plugin to work. cvs -d :pserver:anonymous:@cvs.apache.org:/cvs/root:module login > 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
