This tasks makes it possible to read back modifications made by the Modification Writer Task.

Example :

2 projects in CCNet
1) is a project that does the compile, test, ... stuff, and also writes the modifications using the ModificationWriterTask
     be sure to set the appendTimeStamp of the modificationWriter to true
2) is a project that deploys the result of project 1
   --> copies it to other servers, updates source control (binary references like a framework), ...
   The reason for a second project is that this can be done on releases of milestones of project 1
   The ModificationReaderTask can now easily read the modification file(s) made by project one, into it's own integration,
   making it possible that these can be used by the existing tasks/publishers of ccnetfor project 2

Minimal configuration example:

<modificationReader />

Full configuration example:

<modificationReader>
     <filename>mods.xml</filename>
     <path></path>
</modificationReader>

Configuration Elements:

Node Description Type Required Default
filename The filename for the file containing the modifications. string false modifications.xml
path The directory to write the xml file to. string false the artifact directory
description If filled in, this will be shown in the buildstage as the process name
string
false
n/a

It is adivisable to keep these configuration elements of the modificationWriter and the modificationReader the same.
