FastConnect uses redmine for its opensource platform to track features/bugs off all its projects. Unfortunately there is no integration with maven as you can find with Jira. Especially it lacks the capacity to retrieve all features/bugs part of a specific Roadmap release.
Toward full release automation
maven-redmine-plugin provides tight integration with maven-changes-plugin (at least the tightest possible) by creating changes.xml file from a redmine roadmap. This allows to create nice changes report in your maven site and to send release announcement email.
Then you can publish a news to your redmine project advertising the new release.
All of this rely on information provided in your pom.xml and can be automatically executed as part of a release by configuring maven-release-plugin.
More details about this configuration here.
I was looking at the documentation on Redmine for your maven plugin and noticed you have all the maven build reports published on a “Maven” tab with the navigation links pushed to the right side.
I was wondering how you were able to do that? Did you have to create a custom Redmine plugin for that or use something like the Redmine “Embedded” plugin and customize the css for the maven site plugin?
Very cool!!!
Hi John,
unfortunately I cannot find anymore references to the plugin we are using.
The only information I have is plugin and author’s names: “Maven Plugin” by Kaare Nilsen.
Hope this helps,
Julien
