Description

In order to support more complex issue id detection in changelog comments, I propose to support regexp capturing group in <issueIDRegexPattern /> configuration property.

For example, with a Trac Issues Management System, I use
<issueIDRegexPattern>#(\d+)</issueIDRegexPattern>
<issueLinkUrl>http://trac.host/path/to/trac/project/ticket/%ISSUE%</issueLinkUrl>
and the %ISSUE% keyword will be replaced by the issue number (without the prefixing '#')

I have successfully tested a simple modification of ChangeLogReport.java / sinkIssueLink() / line: 1319
replace:
String match = matcher.group();
by:
String match;
if(matcher.groupCount() == 1)

{ match = matcher.group(1); }

else

{ match = matcher.group(); }

Hope this little modification can be adopted and put in 2.3 release.

Best regards.

I'm totally with Eric on this issue. A single capturing group as described would be most helpful.
Our tickets are incrementing integers. The regex \d

{2,}

is really too fuzzy.
