Body:
I guess I'm not 100% sure that the spaces are the issue, but I did test what happened
when I had the CVS exectuable on the path with spaces, then without spaces, then back
and forth a view times to confirm. I can't think of any other variables that moving
the files / changing the path affects. I don't know whether it's a general solution,
but it worked in my case.
I guess there's a remote possibility it could be an issue with WinCVS, but I'm not
sure how, since it works fine from the commandline.
If you can think of any checks I can perform to validate this, I'd be happy to do
them, but the spaces issue was the only thing I came up with after three days or so of
fiddling.

Key: MAVEN-1006
Summary: SCM cvs call doesn't function when there are spaces in the path
Type: Bug
Status: Unassigned
Priority: Minor
Time Spent: Unknown
Remaining: Unknown
Project: maven
Components:
plugin-changelog
Fix Fors:
1.1
Versions:
1.0-rc2
Assignee:
Reporter: Nick Giles
Created: Wed, 5 Nov 2003 10:36 AM
Updated: Sun, 9 Nov 2003 9:44 AM
Environment: Win2K SP4, Java 1.4.1, WinCVS 1.3.10.1 (b10)
Description:
When running the changelog report, the CVS executable is not found, depite being on
the path. The following output is seen:
SCM Working Directory: C:\projects\aProject\WEB-INF
SCM Command Line[0]: cvs
SCM Command Line[1]: -d
SCM Command Line[2]: :sspi:cvsserver.foo.co.uk:F:\CVSRepository
SCM Command Line[3]: log
Unable to find cvs executable. Changelog will be empty
Subsequent investigation found that spaces in the path to the CVS executable were to
blame, and moving it to a location without spaces resolved the issue. Suggest an entry
in the FAQ for Changelog in particular, and an update to the entry in the main Maven
FAQ (which very unhelpfully says to try running the command from the command line, and
that "The results typically speak for themselves". They don't.).
