Sure. The (wrong) URL we used was:
scm:cvs:pserver:${cvs.user}:@\<server>:/home/cvs/sss:foundation
where the CVS URL is wrong. The cvs.user is set to a correct user while the
error message is telling the opposite. Correct (and working) is this one, using
the correct CVS path to our "foundation" project:
scm:cvs:pserver:${cvs.user}:@\<server>:/home/cvs/sss:SSS/foundation
> Improve error message when CVS URL is not correct

> Key: SCM-232
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-232
> Project: Maven SCM (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: maven-scm-provider-cvs
> Affects Versions: 1.0-beta-3
> Environment: Win XP
> Reporter: Christoph Amshoff
> Assignee: Emmanuel Venisse
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.0-rc1
>
>
> When the CVS URL is not correct because the module name is misspelled, the
> error output always is "Embedded error: Exception while executing SCM
> command. Username isn't defined."
> This is misleading, since the username is definitely correct. This took me
> more than 2 hours to figure out and should be fixed by issuing a more
> applicable error message.
