It is useful to be able to generate both the announce message and release notes from changes.xml.
One way to do this is as currently implemented in Compress: add a profile "relnotes" which overrides the changes template with the release-notes.vm template. One can then do: mvn changes:announcement-generate # => announcement.vm mvn changes:announcement-generate -Prelnotes # => release-notes.vm The template is assumed to be in src/changes, but it would be better if a shared template could be used, for example in commons-site. Is that the best place for it? BTW, in order to allow for different workspace layouts, the template directory should be expressed as a property, which users can override in their settings.xml if they need to. To minimise the need for overrides, the default value for this property should reflect a popular workspace layout. In my case commons-compress and commons-parent etc are all at the same level, but perhaps it is more usual to use some other layout. [The idea would be to add the profile to the next release of commons-parent] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
