I figured this out and posting the solution here just in case someone
else encounters the same question.
There are two ways to checkout a CVS module to a specific directory
(shortening CVS module path):
(1) Via project.properties file. Set the value for the following
property to the command line args, for instance
maven.scm.cvs.checkout.flags=-P -d releng.project-maventest
(2) Via maven.xml. Set up a preGoal as follows
<preGoal name="scm:checkout-project">
<j:set var="maven.scm.cvs.checkout.flags"
value="${maven.scm.cvs.checkout.flags} -d releng.project-maventest " />
</preGoal>
Cheers,
Rahul

Greetings,
How can I pass extra command line arguments to Maven
scm:checkout-project goal.
My project is set up as follows in CVS
+ projects
+ releng
+ project-maventest
and, I need to check it out to a directory as follows:
releng.project-maventest
With an Ant script I could used a nested commandline task within Ant's
cvs task like this :
<cvs failonerror="yes" output="@{attr.cvs.checkout.dir}/cvs.log"
dest="@{attr.cvs.checkout.dir}">
<commandline>
<argument value="-d" />
<argument value="releng.project-maventest" />
</commandline>
</cvs>
My question is:
What would be a nice, clean way to get this functionality with SCM
plugin? Do I really need to override the default goal with mine?
I am happy to submit a patch for the plugin if this sounds like a good
addition to SCM plugin.
TIA,
Rahul
