Dennis Lundberg commented on MCHANGES-240:
------------------------------------------
I think this issue has merits. There are currently some manual work that needs
to be done when using a changes.xml file. It would be nice if it could be more
automatic.
> Support: version="${poject.version}" date="${buildDate}"
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MCHANGES-240
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHANGES-240
> Project: Maven 2.x Changes Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: changes.xml
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Florian Brunner
> Priority: Critical
>
> Currently the plugin requires a release version which is equal to
> ${poject.version} without "-SNAPSHOT".
> Currently the changes.xml doesn't get filtered.
> The actual version is only known when you do a relase (e.g. using the Maven
> Release Plugin).
> It's then when you specify if you change e.g. from version 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 or
> 1.2.0
> Keeping this in sync with the changes.xml is currently a manual process which
> has to be done immediatly before releasing and is thus very error prone
> (especially if you're releasing every day or every other day in a hot phase
> of the project)!
> For this reason
> <release version="${poject.version}"...
> should be supported.
> The same is true for the release date. You only know the exact date, when
> you're actually releasing.
> Consider to provide the property ${buildDate}.
> Provide a hook into the Maven Release Plugin, to add a new release element
> (after tagging, when the version gets updated to the next SNAPSHOT version):
> <release version="${poject.version}" date="${buildDate}"
> description="Subsequent release">
> </release>
