I finally figured out a way to work against Perforce. Basically, you have to
set this property for client spec in <systemProperties> tag of
"maven-changelog-plugin" or define it (with "-D") in the maven command line:
maven.scm.perforce.clientspec.name
along with "username" and "password" (or in "-D" option in the command
line).
It does not work if you try to set the system environment variable
underneath prior to invoking maven.
obviously, exposing username/password in pom file and command line is kind
of risk.
