Great! I wasn't aware of existence of this patch. I had a similar idea some time ago, but no resources to go about implementing it. The isssue is scheduled for 1.1, let's make sure it gets commited soon after 1.0! >> There are various >> options ranging from serialized Java objects through XML to a relational >> database, with XML looking the most promising IMO. >> > > There is already an and CvsChangeLog command which produces xml > formatted output (and probably does a lot of what the current changelog > plugin does).

I think the best apporoach would be enchancing statcvs with pluggable log parsers, and implement a parser for maven-chngelog-plugin changes.xml files. It shouldn't be very complicated. I don't know if statcvs folks hang aroud here. If they don't respond soon maybe you, (Luke) can write a message to them explaining the idea?
