Hi,

I've a couple of questions concerning Maven (http://maven.apache.org/):

1) What are the pros and cons of maven compared to CVS?
2) Does Maven offer the same functionallity as CVS?
3) Can Maven be used alongside CVS?

Thanks in advance.

That's not a well-phrased question. Maven is not comparable to either
CVS or even to Ant.

Do you mean Subversion vs CVS or perhaps Maven vs Ant?
Maven is a build tool. CVS is a version control tool.
