Apache Maven Changelog Plugin

Using Date Type

To generate the changelog reports showing what has changed between two dates, you should use the "date" type.

With the following configuration, the generated reports will cover SCM activities between Aug 1, 2005 to Sept 1, 2005. Please note that the date range is inclusive.

Note: The <dateFormat> configuration is used only when parsing the dates that come from your SCM. It is not used to format the dates in the report.
