Description

I have defined parameter

releaseDateFormat=E MMM dd yyyy

and release dates are defined with English locale in changes.xml.
If I run maven with other locale settings, then changes-check goal failed that release date has wrong format.
Workaround for this behaivour is, defines english locale in

MAVEN_OPTS=-Duser.language=en -Duser.region=US

, but better is define locale in configuration.

<configuration>
  <releaseDateLocale>en_US</releaseDateLocale>
</configuration>
