CVS executable invocation error

[ni...@bt.com]

I'm just starting out with Maven, and I'm particularly interested in the
documentation generation aspect of it. However, I'm having problems
getting the Changelog task to run, because the SCM/CVS access task is
not functioning as I would expect. I'm getting the error:

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

The FAQ mentions this problem, but says that trying to run the shown
command from the command line should show what is wrong. However, when I
run that command from the command line, i.e. "cvs -d
:sspi:cvsserver.foo.co.uk:F:\CVSRepository log", it seems to work fine.
Also, I discovered that if I place the cvs executable in the working
directory, that works. This /suggests/ to me that the invocation is
prepending the working directory to the invocation, which is not quite
what I'm after...

Anyone know how to fix this behaviour, either by being able to fully
specify the cvs executable, or fixing it in some other way?

I'm using maven-1.0-rc1 on Win2K.

Thanks in advance,

Nick Giles
