I have been testing Maven on Linux running Java 1.5.0_02-b09, and noticed that the Changelog plugin won't run against CVS servers. Changelog uses a java library to provide CVS connectivity instead of running CVS from the command line.
I always get a message:
org.netbeans.lib.cvsclient.connection.AuthencticationException: Wrong Password.
I discovered that the format of the cvs information in the .cvspass file differs depending on if cvs inserted it, or the create-cvspass did.
CVS looks like this:
/1 :pserver:dep4b@cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/maven-plugins A3333 x
changelog:create-cvspass looks like this:
:pserver:dep4b@cvs.sourceforge.net:cvsroot/maven-plugins A3333 x
I think I have a small fix for CvsConnection.java's lookupPassword() method to deal with the two types of strings. It just isn't properly implemented for the cvs generated one where your password has a " " (space) in the password name.
I wanted to see if anyone else had run across this problem...

Changelog Plugin doesn't parse .cvspass properly
It seems like things aren't properly handled when the .cvspass file starts with a /1 and the password is blank, so it ends in "A ".. That line:
/1 :pserver:user@server:2401/home/cvs A
has only 3 elements, so the password is returned as null. However, it should be returned as "A "... I think....
