Recommended Practice During Release? #610
Description
New feature, improvement proposal
I am using changes.xml file in my project. Developer writes the entry
himself and it is expected to be part of the commit.
Is this recommended practice or is it more common to extract Change Log
from Git or from Jira tickets?
I would like to combine the usage of changes.xml with a release:
when maven-release-plugin:prepare creates the release commits, I would
like it to automatically close the corresponding release entry in
changes.xml and change the release date to the current date, if not
already. And after this, before committing the new development
(-SNAPSHOT) version commit, to open the corresponding release entry in
changes.xml file.
Would it make sense to add this kind of functionality to maven-changes-plugin?
