> Give us your version of a better message 

Hmm, ... looking back, I might be better able to interpret the given message now. But 
now I also know more about maven, than I did before :-) Maybe something pointing out 
more precisely, the value that is wrong.

Looking at the sources, I think it is Repository.splitSCMConnection(...) which throws 
the exception with the msg. If it included the actual connection string, I would know 
which text it was parsing when the error occurred. Maybe it could even say something 
like "project.xml element '<connection>' contains the string '...' which is expected 
to ...... bla bla".

Description:
Hi,

Had a problem where a wrong value inside the project.xml <repository><connection>.... 
element gave me a not very informative error message:

File...... file:/home/polesen/.maven/plugins/maven-xdoc-plugin-1.4/
Element... velocity:merge
Line...... 399
Column.... 9
Invocation of method 'getCvsRoot' in  class org.apache.maven.project.Repository threw 
exception class java.lang.IllegalArgumentException : repository connection string 
contains more than six tokens

It took me some time, and some searching around inside the xdoc plugin files, to find 
out what my problem was.

I do not know if it is easy to give a better message, or if it is a result of the use 
of velocity templates!? Anyways, I think a newcomer will have some problems finding 
out what's wrong!
