You can probably use the announcement:generate goal for this.

You can also create your own velocity template if you want to change the layout or content, but the default announcement.vm file produced by "mvn changes:announcement-generate" is pretty good as is.

What you cannot change currently is the output file name (same as template name) or directory (target/announcement).

Just rename the file and move it somewhere suitable.

Or use antrun to copy it to suitable location.

<tasks>
<copy file="$

{project.build.directory}

/target/announcement.vm" tofile="$

{project.basedir}

/appassembler/CHANGES.txt"/>
</tasks>

Instead of making a plain text version for the changes-report goal, I opted to make the announcement-generate goal more configurable. That way you can also include issues from JIRA.

Fixed in r1054308.

New 2.4-SNAPSHOT deployed for those who want to test drive this. See the example in the docs on how to use it.
