Change log goes looking in ${user.home}/.cvspass . There is a
documented way of creating this file. See

Changelog uses a NetBeans library that doesn't use your CVS executable.

See above.

The scm plugin uses your cvs executable, as its a wrapper on the ant
cvs tasks. We call this 'inconsistency'.

You're right. They're not consistent.

There are. Maven is one. There is also the source for the examples plugin.
See http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/examples/ if you're
willing to check out the source.

Ant is a lot more mature, and has had a lot of time to build documentation.

Changelog doesn't do changelogs between versions or tags, it does a
changelog of recent changes. See
http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/changelog/index.html
See http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/changelog/properties.html
for how you can customise the changelog plugin.

Hope that helps.
