How to get release notes programmatically from jira plugin

Question

I am writing a simple listener for Jira 4.4.1 to manage release artifacts creation upon version release. Since it is a listener - I automatically have versionID.

How can I acquire release notes programmatically from within plugin?

Edit: I want to get access to the release notes report generated by Jira from a listener plugin link

Apparently ReleaseNoteManager had this functionality, but it seems deprecated and I can find no documentation about how to use it.

Answer 1

What you're trying to do seems dubious, because Maven JIRA Plugin hasn't been supported since 1.x. This functionality, flatly, does not appear to exist.

Instead, use Maven Versions Plugin. You can find the documentation to get yourself started here.

Answer 2

You may also want to look at maven changes plugin. It supports jira and various other issue management systems.
