-The Maven team is pleased to announce the Dashboard plugin 1.0 release!
-
-http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/dashboard
-
-This plugin generates a dashboard HTML report containing information 
-gathered from other Maven reports (Checkstyle, Clover, JUnit, Simian, 
-etc). The dashboard aggregate this information for all subprojects, 
-presenting them in a single tabular format.
-
-Features:
-
-o Pluggable architecture. It allows to add custom aggregators for any
-  kind of report, be them Maven reports or anything else (like 
-  calling an SCM system, calling JIRA, etc). An aggregator is actually 
-  a Jelly script so that you have the full power of Jelly at your hand.
-o Allows tight integration in one's own custom reactor and prevents
-  running reports several times.
-o Several aggregators are provided out-of-the-box:
-  o csall: reports Checkstyle warnings/errors
-  o cswarnings: reports Checkstyle warnings
-  o cserrors: reports Checkstyle errors
-  o clovertpc: reports Clover total test coverage percentage 
-  o cloverloc: reports lines of code as computed by Clover
-  o cloverncloc: reports lines of non-comment code as computed by Clover
-
-Note that this plugin has been tested with Maven 1.0 rc2 from CVS HEAD. 
-Using it with another version of Maven is at your own risks! :-)
-
-An example of the Dashboard plugin in action is available here:
-http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/optional/dashboard-report.html
-
-You can download the Dashboard plugin here:
-http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/maven/plugins/maven-dashboard-plugin-1.0.jar
-
-Have fun!

-
-Changes over version 1.0:
-
-o Ensure that the Clover plugin will generate the XML report (and only 
-  the XML report) when the Dashboard plugin is run. The Clover XML 
-  report is required by the Clover aggregators as they extract 
-  information from it.
-o Do not exclude project.xml in the default  maven.dashboard.excludes
-  list as it is already excluded by the default maven.dashboard.includes 
-  list.
