Hi David, I use CVSNT indeed, but as I provided my password in the SCM connection, it seems that the release:prepare goal creates by itself the ".cvspass" with the good entry. And I also tried with a truely valid ".cvspass" (that works with other plugins, m1 plugins for instance), it still doesn't work. That's why I run out of ideas as of what I can do to make it work...

If you're running some version of CVSNT, then doing a cvs login from the command line won't create the necessary ~/.cvspass file that the Maven SCM operations will need. (Because CVSNT stores the passwords in the registry instead of a file.) There are some web pages around that talk about this issue. If that's what you're seeing, I wrote a utility some time back that extracts passwords from the registry and creates a .cvspass file with them. ..David.. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2005 4:15 AM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: RE: [m2] Maven release plugin and CVS: bug? Michael, thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, although I've followed every step you gave to me, I still get the same error: ******************************************************************************************** ...

Fabrice, Here is something else that is worth trying: - Make sure that you are using M2 RC. (I deleted my local repository after installing the RC, to ensure my installation was completely fresh) Say, for example your Maven SCM URL is: scm:cvs:pserver:<user>:<password>@<cvs-server>:<cvs-repository-path>:module - Delete your .cvspass file. This should be in your home directory ('c:\Documents and Settings' for me) - Run the CVS login command: cvs -d:pserver:<user>@<cvs-server>:<cvs-repository-path> login - Run the release:prepare goal.
