Make the url parameter non-required
-----------------------------------
Key: MCHANGES-178
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHANGES-178
Project: Maven 2.x Changes Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: announcement
Affects Versions: 2.1
Reporter: Dennis Lundberg
Currently the url parameter to the AnnouncementMojo is required. This is not
suitable for all projects.
As far as I can tell the url parameter is only used for two things:
# Act as a stand-in value for the introduction parameter, if that is not
supplied
# Forwarded to the Velocity template for use there
Our use case is that we have a project that doesn't have a url. We still want
to email an announcement when a new version is released. We are forced to enter
a dummy url in our plugin configuration to get around this.
I'd like to remove the @required annotation from AnnouncementMojo.url. Are
there any objections to this?
Projects already using the plugin will not be affected, because they already
have a url specified in their configuration.
