------------------------------------------
I just realized that the JIRA URL for fetching the issues is in the issue
description...
Your failed attempt was for the Changes Plugin itself.
I think this started with
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=r1379183 which I believe
broke things. I've reverted that change in plugins-parent until this plugin has
been fixed.
Here's the problem. In {{announcement-generate}} there are two parameters
involved: {{template}} and {{announcementFile}}. The first one is the Velocity
template. The second is the file that contains the result after interpolating
properties into the Velocity template. If the second is not specified, the
value of the first is used. There are two possible scenarios:
# {{announcementFile}} not specified
{{announcement.vm}} (the Velocity template available on the classpath) -->
{{announcement-generate}} --> {{target/announcement/announcement.vm}} (a text
file containing the finished announcement text)
# {{announcementFile=announcement.txt}}
{{announcement.vm}} (the Velocity template available on the classpath) -->
{{announcement-generate}} --> {{target/announcement/announcement.txt}} (a text
file containing the finished announcement text)
After this the {{announcement-mail}} goal takes over, and this is where things
start to fail. {{announcement-mail}} only cares about one parameter:
{{template}}, which in this case is *not* not the Velocity template, but in
fact the file that contains the result after interpolating properties into the
Velocity template. The default value for {{template}} is {{announcement.vm}}.
{{template}} not specified, {{announcementFile=announcement.txt}} as per
example 2 above (this was our configuration after r1379183)
{{announcement.vm}} (the Velocity template available on the classpath) -->
{{announcement-generate}} --> {{target/announcement/announcement.txt}} (a text
file containing the finished announcement text) --> {{announcement-mail}} -->
*Error:* {{file target/announcement/announcement.vm}} not found!
My conclusion is that this problem comes from an inappropriately named and
documented parameter. The solution is to rename the {{template}} parameter in
{{announcement-mail}} to {{announcementFile}}.
In {{announcement-generate}} there is a parameter called {{outputDirectory}}
which makes sense for that goal, because it which represents the directory
where the finished announcement is placed. The corresponding parameter in
{{announcement-mail}} is called {{templateOutputDirectory}}, which is wrong
twice: it is not the output directory of this goal and it does not contain a
template. It should be renamed to {{announcementDirectory}}.
> announcement generation broken in 2.7, possibly by velocity upgrade
