Description

maven-scm-provider-cvs currently work only with the cvs_native implementation
which ask for installation of CVSNT...

it is not trivial and in some organisation (locked computer) it is not possible to install third-party software.

So it would be very practical if the java implemenation was working on Windows.

currently it fails because of ".cvspass" missing.
-There should exist a tool, a mojo, to create this .cvspass,
-or it should be created from uservame et password automatically if needed.

here is the error message for example:
[ERROR] Didn't find password for CVSROOT ':pserver:@serv:12021/serv/cvsdata/proj'.
org.netbeans.lib.cvsclient.connection.AuthenticationException: Wrong Password.
