> When running the changelog report, the CVS executable is not found, depite being on the path. The following output is seen:
> SCM Working Directory: C:\projects\aProject\WEB-INF
> SCM Command Line[0]: cvs
> SCM Command Line[1]: -d
> SCM Command Line[2]: :sspi:cvsserver.foo.co.uk:F:\CVSRepository
> SCM Command Line[3]: log
> Unable to find cvs executable. Changelog will be empty
> Subsequent investigation found that spaces in the path to the CVS executable were to blame, and moving it to a location without spaces resolved the issue. Suggest an entry in the FAQ for Changelog in particular, and an update to the entry in the main Maven FAQ (which very unhelpfully says to try running the command from the command line, and that "The results typically speak for themselves". They don't.).
