[Validator] Maven Changelog Report etc
The maven changelog, file-activity and developer-activity reports have a
couple of problems:
1) They don't show the correct changes, because of the following subversion
issue:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=752
2) The links generated are incorrect:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPCHANGELOG-74
I have fixed the subversion issue using a custom ChangeLogFactory, available
here:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPCHANGELOG-58
and I have fixed the links issue with the following workaround:
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs?rev=291243&view=rev
I believe we are probably the only people in apache-land with versions of
these reports that work! Latest versions should be available on validator
website in a few hours:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/validator/changelog-report.html
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/validator/file-activity-report.html
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/validator/developer-activity-report.html
Do we want to stick to showing changes in the last 120 days? Previous
versions of validator we're branched on 17th April 2004 - so if we wanted to
show all changes in Validator 1.2.0 then we could set the period to
something like 524 days?
I have also added comments to the "dependencies" page to indicate that the
maven-plugins are only required for building the validator site:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/validator/dependencies.html

Its a feature available in version 1.9.2 of maven-changelog-report. You just
add comments as "properties" in the project.xml

I like that more information is provided on the dependencies page,
however the comments added are at the far right end. As I tend to run a
narrow browser, I could easily miss the comment by not scrolling right.
I would suggest a better layout to be one table for real dependencies,
and another table for site dependencies.
But where did the comments come from? A maven tweak, or editing after
maven generation?

Is that because the whole of Apache will have moved to subversion by then?

Yes I agree. Maybe its useful temporary solution for small commons
components? Do you think it worth making more widely available and if so,
what would be the best way?

Yes you're probably right.

The report works as long as there have been no cvs2svn imports in the
last 30 days. That's not currently the case, but it will be by the end
of Jan :)
This is a reasonable fix, but it is not going to perform well for files
with a lot of revisions.

These seem like too much to me. Do you really need SCM changes since the
last release? Isn't the bugzilla report better for that?
