Google-News-Sitemap xmltags missing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Its currently not possible to create a complete
google-news-sitemap with this tool.
Tags like 
"title" or "publication" are important and missing.

I noticed this problem as well when I was looking at the javadoc.  This is more 
than
just a bug since you cannot even create a valid news sitemap as the previous 
poster
said.  This means the classes related to google news sitemaps are useless as 
is. 
Please address this because you cannot say that your tool supports this type of
sitemap when it actually does not.

This does appear to be a real problem.  Unfortunately, I don't use News 
Sitemaps, so
I may not be able to fix this in a timely manner.  Patches welcome.

OK I have created a patch to fix this.  What is the process to submit the patch?

I have attached a zip file containing the code.

Here is a quick list of the changes:

Added classes:
Acess - enum class for valid access values in the google news sitemap
Genre - enum class for valid genre values in the google news sitemap

Changes classes:
GoogleNewsSitemapUrl - add new fields for new tags, with getter methods and 
setters 
in the Options class
GoogleNewsSitemapGenerator - changed rendered to render new tags
GoogleNewsSitemapUrl - added new test "testFullOptions" to test all new tags

Note: the changes should not affect the behaviour of any existing code that 
uses 
these classes in any way

Thanks for posting this. I think that these new additions to Google's algorithm 
will make online the <a href="http://www.freesitemapsubmit.com/">XML sitemap 
generator</a> tools even more important.

Any chance the patch will be accepted?

I noticed that this issue is still not resolved and the patch has not been 
accepted.  The News Sitemap is unusable without it, any chance this can still 
be accepted?
