Checking out projects from CVS using Maven

[jeff mutonho]

How do I check out multiple projects using Maven?I configured my maven.xml
file as shown below:


<project default="mycontacts:build-all" xmlns:j="jelly:core"
xmlns:m="jelly:maven">
<preGoal name="checkout-all">
<j:set var="maven.scm.cvs.module">Project1</j:set>
<attainGoal name="scm:cvs-checkout-project"/>
<j:set var="maven.scm.cvs.module">Project2</j:set>
<attainGoal name="scm:cvs-checkout-project"/>
</preGoal>
<goal name="mycontacts:build-all">
<!--m:reactor basedir="${basedir}"
includes="*/project.xml"
goals="mycontacts-dist"
banner="Building Project"
ignoreFailures="false"/-->
</goal>
</project>

but only Project1 is checked out when I run "maven scm:checkout-project".I realized that this could be due to the line

# CVS module to check out, required
maven.scm.cvs.module=Project1

in my /home/maven/.maven/cache/maven-scm-plugin-1.4/plugin.properties

which seems to override the preGoals i defined in the maven.xml file.How do I configure Maven to check-out multiple projects (from CVS) at a time ?
