[Statsvn-developers] Maven 2 Mojo.

[Doug C. <do...@cu...>]

My Mojo is basically there.  It is at the "works on my computer stage". 
I still have TODOs (http://stat-scm.sourceforge.net/taglist.html) but I
can start using it.

I have to generate a summery page so the MavenReporting Interface works
properly. The file statscm/statscm.html is a bit of a duplicate of the
statscm/index.html page but I have found no quick solution to solve this
more elegantly.

All users need to do is merge the plugin config detailed on
http://stat-scm.sourceforge.net/usage.html into their project pom.xml
file and a report will be generated and linked (as "StatSCM") in the
"Projects Reports" menu.

I use the java.lang.Runtime to get the log file.  This works OK but not
on multi module projects yet.  The advantage is that the user can (once
the pom is merged):
> mvn clean
and all StatSVN  files are deleted
> mvn site
and a Maven Project site is generated with all StatSVN files in it. (cool)

The xdoc output from StatSVN worked great once I found out what to do
with it.  StatSVN was very easy to wrap around .The data caching also
seams to work very well, (which is important because I have no date
filter yet.) So thanks guys for your great work.

There is a "Sink" for writing html pages in the Maven Reporting API and
there is also a SCM API.  It is therefore potentially possible to write
a StatXXX code that worked in the middle of these two interfaces.  I do
not know if and how well this would work but if there is enthusiasm for
it then it would be worth looking at.

I will do a few fixes and try to get what it does now working on every
computer.  Maybe a few configuration parameters need to be added.  Then
I will release version 1.0.

All the best,

Doug
