How do I checkout the source code for all plugins ?

svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/maven-1/trunks maven-1

This will put the whole Maven 1 source distribution, including the core and the plugins-sandbox, into a directory maven-1 (the root directory).

If you want to checkout a particular plugin only, you also need the plugins-parent and plugins-common modules, eg for the xdoc plugin:

svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/maven-1/plugins/trunk/xdoc/ xdoc
svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/maven-1/plugins/trunk/plugins-parent/ plugins-parent
svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/maven-1/plugins/trunk/plugins-common/ plugins-common
