[jira] Commented: (MNG-2296) Display what has changed since last
release upon updating a plugin to a new version
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2296?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=204223#action_204223 ]
Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-2296:
------------------------------------
You can use the maven-versions-plugin to see/update changes and you're going to have to specify plugin versions in Maven 3.1 anyway.

> Key: MNG-2296
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2296
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Artifacts and Repositories
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4
> Reporter: Cédric Vidal
> Fix For: 3.x

> Today, when a new version of a plugin is released, it is automatically downloaded and this is great because it keeps you up to date. For example, this morning, a new version of the WAR plugin was released on ibiblio (I had 2.0-beta-2 previously), I got the following trace:
> --
> [INFO] artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin: checking for updates from ibiblio
> Downloading: http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-war-plugin/2.0/maven-war-plugin-2.0.pom
> 1/1K
> 1K downloaded
> Downloading: http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-war-plugin/2.0/maven-war-plugin-2.0.jar
> 1/21K
> 21/21K
> 21K downloaded
> --
> The thing is I got no clue whatsoever of what has changed between versions 2.0-beta-2 and 2.0. If I want to know was has changed, I have to manually go on the maven site or in the JIRA to figure out what has changed.
> It would be great if the list of changes that occured between between the version which was previously locally installed and the newly installed was displayed upon update as part of the build.
> The trace could be:
> --
> [INFO] artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin: checking for updates from ibiblio
> Downloading: http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-war-plugin/2.0/maven-war-plugin-2.0.pom
> 1/1K
> 1K downloaded
> Downloading: http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-war-plugin/2.0/maven-war-plugin-2.0.jar
> 1/21K
> 21/21K
> 21K downloaded
> [INFO] Changes that occured between version 2.0-beta-2 and 2.0 are:
> o Added blah blah.
> o Corrected bug blah blah.
> o Removed blah blah.
> --
> This feature might depend on adding the list of changes to the POM, which might be an issue since Maven is stable now. But that might not be such a bug deal since that POM information would most likely be optional.
> The changes part of the POM could be structured like Maven 1 Changes plugin's changes.xml file:
> http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/changes/
> <releases>
> <release version="2.0" date="in CVS">
> <action dev="vmassol" type="update">
> Blah blah.
> </action>
> </release>
> <release version="1.0" date="2003-06-05" description ="First stable release.">
> <action dev="vmassol" type="add">
> Added blah blah.
> </action>
> <action dev="vmassol" type="fix" issue="JIRA-XXX">
> Corrected bug blah blah.
> </action>
> <action dev="vmassol" type="remove" due-to="John Doe" due-to-email="john@doe.com">
> Removed blah blah.
> </action>
> </release>
> </releases>
