Getting started with changelog

Hi, 

I am trying to mavenise my current projects, 
thanks, I am sure it will be worth it.
I have tried with beta-8, beta-9 and am now running 
out of CVS.
(Do I have to bootstrap every time I do a CVS update?)
I am running SuSE 8.0, j2sdk1.4.1

I am currently a bit stuck on the CVS changelog and 
developer-activty reports, they are empty and so is 
target/changelog.xml

I have 
  <repository>
    <connection>
      scm:cvs:pserver:anonymous@us.org:/usr/cvsroot/:proj
    </connection>
  </repository>

the only way I have persuaded myself the report is being run 
at all is that if I change the above to 
      scm:cls:pserver:anonymous@us.org:/usr/cvsroot/:proj
I get :
BUILD FAILED
null:37:50: <attainGoal> null:56:15: <changelog:changelog> null

I have checked maven.log, it has a scary number of errors 
which seem to be irrelevant:
2003-05-01 22:37:42,034 ERROR org.apache.commons.jelly.tags.ant.AntTag - Class 
org.apache.commons.jelly.tags.core.IfTag doesn't support the nested "echo" 
element.
I have added:

maven.activitylog.range = 1500
maven.changelog.range = 1500

to maven.properties to ensure something should be returned.
Can I turn on a higher level of logging?
How can I see the actual command being run?
Can I set maven to fail on failure?

Also I get the impression from google that 
maven.tasklist.taskTag = FIXME
is no longer valid - is this true?

thanks for any clues
Tim Pizey

Verify your CVS connection settings.
Make sure you can execute 'cvs' from command line and it doesn't ask for password etc.
Do 'cvs login' to update .cvspass

Best regards,
Alexey

Hi, 

Just to answer my own questions:

No, 
cd ...maven/src/plugins-build/<plugin>
maven plugin:install

That terminal slash does matter.

You'll find some hints and tips a few days ago.
I can just add what worked in our company : I guess the changelog stopped 
working for us the day we got the projects from the CVS with cvs export 
instead of cvs checkout. It seems that the metadata in the various CVS 
directories are required for the changelog plugin (which BTW runs the cvs 
log command) to work properly.

Good luck !
