Description

For the 10.10.2 release I tried to generate the release notes by doing this step:
Then the Release Manager builds RELEASE-NOTES.html:

cd tools/release
ant -Drelnotes.src.reports=/path/to/report_directory
-Djira.user=<jira user name>
-Djira.password=<password for that user>
-Drelease.version=<version of the release in JIRA>
genrelnotes

as documented on this page: http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/ReleaseNoteProcess

However, this returned 359 issues and (apparently) JIRA has (now) a limit of 200 issues downloadable at once, for I got this error:

C:\derby\10.10\tools\release\build.xml:156: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: JQL query 'project = DERBY AND resolution = fixed AND fixversion in ("10.10.1.4", "10.10.1.1")' failed (com.atlassian.jira.rpc.exception.RemoteException: Error occurred during searching: 'You are not allowed to get a result set of more than 200 results. Current search returns 359 results'.)

I worked around this by splitting the issues in doc, test, and other issues and then manually cutting-and-pasting and adjusting the Release notes, but we should make a better fix.
