Ah, I'm starting to see the hazy outline of your grand scheme. It's just crazy enough to work.
Do I have commit access to the sandbox as a maven plugin committer? If so, I'll start nosing around and see if I can't move Stephane's maven-changes mojo code into the sandbox and get a maven-issue-provider-file project up and running. mike -----Original Message----- From: Brett Porter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 9:03 PM To: dev@mojo.codehaus.org Subject: Re: [mojo-dev] Remove JIRA report from changes-maven-plugin Hi Mike, I agree with splitting this up now, but would like to treat changes.xml as an "issue tracker". ie: maven-issue-provider-api maven-issue-provider-jira maven-issue-provider-file (changes.xml) maven-issue-provider-bugzilla|trac|clearquest|scarab|sourceforge Then: maven-issue-provider-plugin with: issue-provider:changes-report issue-provider:roadmap-report and maven-announcement-plugin with: announcement:generate announcement:mail using the issue-provider library to source content either from JIRA, changes.xml, etc I think the best place to work on it is the sandbox at Maven where the issue tools are now.
