Description Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2005-02-23 11:23:03 EST 
When cleaning up code it is a common to use quick fixes and refactorings to make
changes in a code. Once the work is done you have to review all changes and
assign appropriate comments/descriptions before committing them, so basically
somehow repeat significant part of work. Because review part could be
time-consuming developers often skip this step and just add some generic comment
for commit set. Commit comments could be much better if quick fix and
refactoring operations will automatically contribute comments for commit sets.
This will also simplify precommit review process.
Comment 1 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2005-02-23 14:16:33 EST 
Agree, but this is out of scope for 3.1. Currently JDT doesn't know anything
about commit sets.
Comment 2 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2005-02-23 14:28:00 EST 
By the way, does JDT know anything about local history? 

If so, then it could go into a local history and CVS or any other VCS
integration can query local history for change sets...
Comment 3 Tom Tromey CLA 2005-10-25 14:15:31 EDT 
GNU Classpath requires a ChangeLog entry of a certain style
for every change.  It would be handy if the changelog plugin
could get descriptions of quick fix operations and write
these entries automatically.
Comment 4 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2009-08-30 02:33:47 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
