Adding changelog

[tomasbjerre]

I noticed there was no changelog in the repo. You might be interested in using this plugin to generate it.

Else, just feel free to close this PR =)

Do you know if there is a way to have the changelog template somewhere other than pom.xml ?

[tomasbjerre]

Yes there is a configuration attribute for that, templateFile.

[gmessner]

Can you make that change and update the PR? I'll merge when that is completed.

[tomasbjerre]

Yes, I can change it later today.

@gmessner Updated.

I am getting the following error in the pom.xml:

Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: se.bjurr.gitchangelog:git-changelog-maven-plugin:1.59:git-changelog (execution: GenerateGitChangelog, phase: generate-sources)

Also, when importing into Eclipse I get the following error:

No marketplace entries found to handle git-changelog-maven-plugin:1.59:git-changelog in Eclipse.  Please see Help for more information.

Can these be corrected?

Looks like you can tell m2e to ignore the plugin: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6352208/how-to-solve-plugin-execution-not-covered-by-lifecycle-configuration-for-sprin

Or, you want it out of the pom. You can do:

mvn se.bjurr.gitchangelog:git-changelog-maven-plugin:git-changelog

And rename the template to changelog.mustache.

And issue this command manually whenever you want to update the changelog.

Enclosing the plugins in a <pluginManagement> tag in the pom fixed the error. Thanks for this info.
