CVSNT users

This plugin does not use the cvs executable on your system to access CVS, instead it uses a java library from the NetBeans project.

The password to access CVS is read by the plugin from ${user.home}/.cvspass. If you are using CVSNT you will not have this file, as CVSNT stores passwords encrypted in the registry.

To create this file, please execute the changelog:create-cvspass goal, e.g.

maven -Dpassword=XXXXXXXX changelog:create-cvspass
