Re: Problem using custom announcement with changes plugin

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 08:58:13 -0700

I had a look at this and it seems that this is a requirement of Velocity, which is used to merge the template with the data. I'll add some text about this in the documentation for the plugin.

That is a very good question. I'm afraid I don't know the answer to it. Since the changes-plugin is still in beta, I think that it would be possible to change the default location for the templates. The normal plugin behavior when it comes to configuration, is to start out from ${basedir}.

Hi Dennis,

Why not use /src/changes/ instead of /src/main/resources/ ?

By default, for jar packaging anyway, everything /src/main/resources/
will be put into the artifact, but why would anybody ever want an email
announcement template in the artifact?

Just curious,
Steve

Hi Paul,

I committed a new page for the site that explains how to create and use
a custom template for the announcement. As you sort of figured out
already, the templateDirectory starts from /src/main/resources, i.e. not
from ${basedir}.

I have not deployed a new site yet, but you can have a look at the apt
file in svn, until the site is deployed:



http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/plugins/trunk/maven-changes-plugin/src/site/apt/examples/using-a-custom-announcement-template.apt

I am trying to configure the changes plugin, version 2.0-beta-2, to
use a custom
announcement.vm file.  Setting templateDirectory in to
/src/main/resources does
not work.  The command "mvn changes:announcement-generate" always
fails with the
following error message:

  ResourceManager : unable to find resource
'/src/main/resources/announcement.vm' in any resource loader

Belows is additional information related the the problem:

Is this a bug or a configuration error?
