Generating changeset and adding it to JAR with Maven

Question

I'm generating a git diff changeset using the maven-changelog-plugin. This plugin runs when I run mvn site or mvn changeset:changeset and outputs the changeset file into target/site/changeset.html and /target/changeset.xml. I would like to include this generated file in the jar that is built when I run mvn clean install.

How can I include this generated file in the JAR? I've tried using the build-helper-maven-plugin to add an artifact or to add a source, but it seems that the changeset is created as the last step or isn't discoverable.

My most recent attempt:

The issue with the maven-changelog-plugin was that it always ran at a step later than the build step where it needed to be. I ended up using the gitlog-maven-plugin instead, which allowed me to change the phase at which it executed
