Building projects using Maven

[vipul vij <vi...@orange.net>]

Hi to you all, 

I am new to using Maven and was wondering if there is any way of 
automatically checking out source code from a CVS repository in order 
to perform builds? (i.e. when there are changes) There is 
a "repository" value in the POM and although it is possible to include 
this value in the instructions for developers on how to connect to the 
source repository, it is not clear whether or not maven detects 
changes in the repository and therefore execute a build. I have found 
it has been neccessary to use the "cvs -
d :pserver:user@host:/cvs/project_path checkout project_name" command 
and then rearrange all the source files in order to get the "Maven 
site:generate" working to produce the html pages. 

Since I have been using Anthill 
http://www.urbancode.com/projects/anthill/default.jsp) for scheduling 
builds etc. I was looking to use Anthill for daily builds and Maven 
for major releases and include the documentation. However, it would be 
much easier to just use Maven for all builds including nightly builds 
by running a cron job; but only if maven can detect changes in the CVS 
that may have been made. 

How do I configure the e-mail notification to work on builds ?

Or does anyone have any other suggestions/advice.

Any help will be kindly appreciated.

Regards, 

Vipul Vij
