Dennis Lundberg commented on MCHANGES-78:
-----------------------------------------

Thanks to Emmanuel and Rémy for your feedback.

I agree when you say the this issue has not been handled well from our side. 
First we should assess whether or not the idea of the submission is good or 
bad. If we like it, then we can make suggestions or demands on packaging, code 
style, licensing and such issues. Sorry about that. We'll try to do better in 
the future.

The changes.xml file for me is a "poor mans issue tracker". Dead simple to use 
for anyone, even those that don't even have an SCM to store their source code.

Judging by your comments I must have misunderstood how the plugin works. Are 
you saying that it can be used *without* an issue tracker?

Have you guys looked at maven-changelog plugin? It fetches the commit message 
from your SCM and produces  a report of every commit made. See for example:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-changelog-plugin/changelog.html

Perhaps we could integrate your Commit Message Parser into that plugin instead? 
Thereby being able to mark the commits by type; add, fix etc.

>       Currently it supports two grammars :
>           o "MANU" which uses @operation:issue;
>           o "REMY" with [operation:issue]
>     * trackerType : this allows you to specify the issue tracker used.
>       Currently it supports two trackers :
>           o codex
>           o jira
>     * trackerUrlPattern : this allows you to specify a pattern to link an 
> issue to any tracker.
