Output version analysis in XML format
-------------------------------------
Key: MVERSIONS-154
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MVERSIONS-154
Project: Maven 2.x Versions Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Nicolas Grobisa
Priority: Minor
It would be desirable to get information from the
versions:display-dependency-updates goal (and eventually, from other goals) in
XML format (or another format that can be easily fed to parsers).
This would allow other apps to access and manipulate that information.
An analog behavior can be found in the Cobertura Maven Plugin
(http://mojo.codehaus.org/cobertura-maven-plugin/) that outputs the code
coverage in an XML file. In addition to this, there's a Jenkins (the continuous
integration server) Cobertura Plugin that parses that XML and creates a nice
graph as a result of the build.
This is a possible example of the output, where I used data from the HTML
report:
<outdatedDependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
<currentVersion>1.2.14</currentVersion>
<scope>compile</scope>
<type>jar</type>
<nextVersion/>
<nextIncrementalVersions>
<version>1.2.16</version>
</nextIncrementalVersions>
<nextMinorVersions/>
<nextMajorVersions/>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org,springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-tx</artifactId>
<currentVersion>3.0.1.RELEASE</currentVersion>
<scope>runtime</scope>
<type>jar</type>
<nextVersion/>
<nextIncrementalVersions/>
<nextMinorVersions/>
<nextMajorVersions>
<version>3.0.2</version>
<version>3.0.3</version>
<version>3.0.4</version>
<version>3.0.5</version>
</nextMajorVersions/>
</dependency>
</outdatedDependencies>
