(Use an empty password, just hit enter..)
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvs checkout opensymphony
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvs checkout webwork

optional:
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvs checkout xwork

Note: One needs to have ivy in $ANT_HOME/lib, cause WebWork uses ivy to manage its library dependencies.

See Building Webwork for a detailed description, including information on Ivy and JDK compatibility.
