maven scm:checkout-project -Dmaven.scm.method=cvs -Dmaven.scm.cvs.module=project4 -Dmaven.scm.cvs.root=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic -Dmaven.scm.checkout.dir=.
For this to really work with a secure password, you need to have a cvspass file. I discuss how to create a cvspass in my book (which you are clearly refering to) at www.milindparikh.com. The scm plugin does all the work. No more ant scripts to bootstrap the checkout process.
Once you have the project.xml, then you make the project SCCS aware (CVS) by the inclusion of
<repository>
<connection>
scm:cvs:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/src:maven/project4
</connection>
</repository>Once a project is SCCS aware, it can then generate all kinds of interesting reports as mentioned in my book.
Hope that this helps!

It doesn't have to, but can.
Try: maven scm:perform-release

It is used for the scm goals, and also for generating the changelog reports, and so on.

Yes, though the next version will use a shorter version such as: maven scm:checkout -Dmaven.scm.url=scm:cvs:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic:project4
