Changes in the Clover 2.3.0 for Maven 2 plugin
12 June, 2008
The Clover 2.3.0 for Maven 2 plugin adds a number of improvements and bug fixes.
Upgrading the Maven 2 plugin
There are specific steps required for upgrading from a previous version of the plugin: see the Upgrade Guide for details.
New version numbering and Maven Artifact ID
In changing the Artifact ID of this project to maven-clover2-plugin, the Clover team has taken the opportunity to bring the version numbering into sync with Clover-for-Ant. This is to make version numbers of Clover for various platforms better reflect the feature set, so that all Clover releases with a given version number will be largely the same.

Upgrade Considerations for this release of Clover-for-Maven 2
1. Method name prefixes
Methods beginning with 'generate'are now in the maven.clover namespace. This means that the following properties must have the prefix 'maven.clover' added to them. This is an issue for backwards compatibility.
maven.clover.generateHtml maven.clover.generatePdf maven.clover.generateXml maven.clover.generateJson maven.clover.generateHistorical maven.clover.orderBy
The change make these properties more consistent with all other properties, as well as making them safer to use with other plugins.
2. 'Clover:' must be expressed as 'Clover2:'
Wherever 'Clover:' is used, you must change it to 'Clover2:' to take advantage of the new version.
Read the documentation for instructions on how to install or upgrade. Note that a full clean build is required.
