Err, xhost + is a very insecure solution to the problem.
And it does not help me to make continuum run in batch.

I'd create a continuum user and run as that, never run applications as
root.
Continuum has no need for the privileges that root enjoys.

Continuum runs maven no differently than if you ran mvn on the command
line.
You should get mvn to work as the continuum user in batch-mode so that
no popups occur and it works correctly from the command line. Until
this happens there is no point setting up continuum.
This may require configuring the key files in ~continuum/.ssh to not
have a passphrase.
Ok. I got this to work by using ssh keyfiles.
But what are the username and password fields in the web interface good
for? Can they only be used for pserver connections?
Thanks for your help

It may also require your to have run the cvs login command by hand to
create the ~/.cvspass file with a password included.
Having no passphrase and storing keys in .cvspass are not ideal
security choices but they rely on linux filesystem permissions which
is pretty reasonable. It is much better than running continuum as
root or using xhost +.
