Getting changelog-plugin to Generate 'change.xml' File
Hello:
Has there been any attempt to link the change-log plugin
with the changes-plugin via the 'changes.xml' document
format.
We're considering adding some sort of mark-up to the SCM
commit log messages to identify issue ids and differentiate
between additions, fixes, etc. [The goal is to yank info
into a format from which release notes could be prepared.]
Mark-up along these lines would theoretically let a
change-log plugin *aware of the log message tags* generate
a 'changes.xml'.
Getting the change logs in a neutral xml format would still
let us programmatically generate the draft for user release
notes, or produce the html output as done currently by the
changes-plugin.
Or have I missing something?
Brad

I was thinking about doing this, but i have issues with the scm-plugin
so I don't use it :( .
I am currently using Subversion and I thought about using :
- svn list repository/tags to get the list of tags
- svn log --verbose --xml repository/tags to get the entries by tags
- svn log --verbose --xml --stop-on-copy repository/trunk to get the
latest corrections
The --verbose and --xml options give us much more information than what
is displayed with changelog as you have the operation: Modify, Added or
Removed.
Currently I have produced a xml file with the logentries grouped by
version and with a tag name per release. With some clever XSLT
manipulation I should be able to produce a changes.xml
