Release Notes in Plugin Sites

Hello Maven folks,

I wonder if there is a possibility to include release notes for plugin versions into the common maven site structure. the release notes are available via announcement email (i.e. attached mail) or via JIRA issue tracker from i.e. http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-jar-plugin/issue-tracking.html .

It would be helpful to have that information included in the standard maven site for an (official) plugin. Probably in a new section on the overview page (i.e. http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-jar-plugin/index.html) or a new menu entry under menu section "Project Information".

What do you think?

Kind regards
Stephan Krull

In the last two releases of surefire, we included the jira-report in the
site, listing all resolved issues with the appropriate fix-version:

To which common practices ? All other projects do release 
notes/changelogs manually...(either pages / files) which i don't like to 
maintain...

Furthermore we have JIRA for every plugins / component...

JIRA has simply a link to release notes....

Sometimes it happens that the content changes.....or later...The link is 
fixed...but it changes from release to release...

I would definitely prevent doing something manually ([1] there are 
enough manual steps to do...)...which could lead in missing it...

Not really problems, but sometimes it happens that issues will be 
changed/added etc. which would result in different Release notes in JIRA 
and on the generated page, cause the page will be generated during the 
site generation process....and will not being changed afterwards...


If you have a single project which is released let's say every 3 
months...it's not a problem to do such things...but here we have 49 
plugins + (I don't know the number currently) of components etc. where 
we do releases[2]...for...You can take a look into the quaterly

be you a good solution for this or other problem...

Re: Release Notes in Plugin Sites

Posted by Stephen Connolly <st...@gmail.com>.
I agree, publishing a static release notes makes it hard to add in Known
Issues as they are discovered, plus you want to know all the bugs that have
been found in a specific versions also.

Now of course there is the question of who maintains the known issues,
etc... and I agree that we may not be very good at doing that to date...
but that does not mean we should switch to a technology (i.e. pushing the
notes in a static site) that prevents us from updating the known state of a
release easily (which at least JIRA lets us do)

Hopefully when we move from Codehaus JIRA to ASF JIRA we will be better
able to manage our issues etc

Re: Release Notes in Plugin Sites

Posted by Kristian Rosenvold <kr...@gmail.com>.
This is a bit of a can of worms, but release notes (=jira issues) may very
well change after the release. This is a particular problem with deeply
componentized architectures like maven itself, issues fixed "somewhere" in
the bowels of the dependency hierarchy may turn out to have value that is
discovered after the release.

Sometimes such implications can lead to further issues at a higher level.
Hopefully they're of the "good" type :) Conceptually you could end up with
an "open" blocker issue after the release, although we do not have a
tradition for this....

AW: Release Notes in Plugin Sites

Posted by "Krull, Stephan" <St...@ecg-leipzig.de>.
I agree that there is no HUGE benefit to it. Just a matter of conformity to common practices.

When you start to release will the release notes from the JIRA version be finished? That way one could append the link of the release notes to the project overview page before the maven site generation for the release starts. 

I would not vote for integrating the changes plugin if that leads to problems.

Hi Stephan,

the question on this is: What would be the benefit of this? Or in other
words: Will it bring supplemental information?

All the information is available as you already mentioned...if you really interested you can find the information....

Apart from that i could think of using maven-changes-plugin to handle this...which unfortunately would make the release process more fragile...and which would mean to change the configuration for all 49 plugins...(here on apache)...

To be honest: Is that really worth the effort...?

What do the other devs think?

Kind regards
