Generated release notes (was Re: svn commit: r353807 - in /struts/scripting/trunk: ...)

[Don Brown <mr...@twdata.org>]

I was walking through the release checklist and saw I had to make 
release notes.  Being an avid fan of the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) 
principle, I created a stylesheet that generates release notes/readme 
files from available documentation.  It is still kind of a custom 
stylesheet (rather than a Maven plugin, for example), but I think it 
could be used for other projects, especially those that used the 
changes.xml file.

BTW, if you are wondering why I didn't use the Ant <style> task, 
apparently it doesn't mix well with Maven.  Stupid classloader problems 
had me going in circles, but I think this solution will work.  Wrangling 
with Maven plugin and classloader hassles has caused my appreciation of 
Maven to drop a notch :(
