<p>
This plugin produces a changes report showing the differences
between different releases of the project using it.
</p>
</section>
<section name="Using the plugin">
<p>
In order to use this plugin, you should add the following
to the <code>reports</code> section of your <code>project.xml</code>:
</p>
<source><![CDATA[
<reports>
<report>maven-changes-plugin</report>
<reports>
]]></source>
<p> Then you have to create a <code>changes.xml</code>
file in your <code>xdocs</code> directory. Here's an example of a
typical <code>changes.xml</code>, showing the syntax:
</p>
<source><![CDATA[
<document>
<properties>
<title>Page title</title>
<author email="vmassol@apache.org">Vincent Massol</author>
</properties>
<body>
<release version="2.0" date="in CVS">
<action dev="vmassol" type="update">
Blah blah.
</action>
</release>
<release version="1.0" date="2003-06-05" description ="First stable release.">
<action dev="vmassol" type="add">
Added blah blah.
</action>
<action dev="vmassol" type="fix" issue="JIRA-XXX">
Corrected bug blah blah.
</action>
<action dev="vmassol" type="remove" due-to="John Doe" due-to-email="john@doe.com">
Removed blah blah.
</action>
</release>
</body>
</document>
]]></source>
<p><a name="alternative"/>
An alternative form of the <code>&lt;action&gt;</code> element
allows you to specify several issues and/or several due-to
elements:
</p>
<source><![CDATA[
<action dev="vmassol" type="fix">
<description>Corrected bug blah blah.</description>
<fixes issue="JIRA-XXX"/>
<fixes issue="JIRA-YYY"/>
.
.
.
<dueto name="John Doe" email="john@doe.com"/>
<dueto name="Jane Doe"/>
.
.
</action>
]]></source>
<p>
The <code>&lt;fixes&gt;</code> element takes one required <code>issue</code>
attribute, the <code>&lt;dueto&gt;</code> element requires only the <code>name</code>
attribute, the <code>email</code> is optional. Note that the <code>&lt;description&gt;</code>,
<code>&lt;fixes&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;dueto&gt;</code> elements take precedence over
any equivalent attributes defined in the <code>&lt;action&gt;</code> element.
</p>
<p>
A live Changes example report can be found
<a href="http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/changes/changes-report.html">here</a>.
</p>
<p>

element:
</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Attribute name</th>
<th>Description</th>

<tr>
