if(vssProject.lastIndexOf("/") == vssProject.length() - 1){ vssProject = vssProject.substring(0, vssProject.length() - 1); }

Modifications in VssChangeLogParser:.java:
Patch submitted with issue 'MPCHANGELOG-65' to fix bug when vss history feed contained label items didn't pass junit tests.

BEFORE:
entry.setDate(parseDate((String) vector.get(3) + " "

time = time.replaceAll("a", "AM");
time = time.replaceAll("p", "PM");
entry.setDate(parseDate(date
+ " " + time));

BEFORE:
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yy HH:mm");
NOW:
SimpleDateFormat format = getLocalVssDateFormat();

BEFORE:
try { SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yy HH:mm"); Date date = format.parse(dateString); return date; } catch (ParseException e) { LOG.error("ParseException Caught", e); return null; }
NOW:
try { SimpleDateFormat format = getLocalVssDateFormat(); Date date = format.parse(dateString); return date; } catch (ParseException e) { throw new RuntimeException( "VSS date : '" + dateString + "' doesn't match following date format : '" + getLocalVssDateFormat().toPattern() + "'. Please specify appropriate date format with 'maven.changelog.vsslib.dateFormat' property.", e); }

/**

• Vss client format history feed is based on the regional settings of the

  private SimpleDateFormat getLocalVssDateFormat()
  Unknown macro: { String dateFormat = null; try { org.apache.maven.jelly.MavenJellyContext mavenJellyContext = org.apache.maven.MavenUtils .createContext(new java.io.File(".")); dateFormat = (String) mavenJellyContext .getVariable("maven.changelog.vsslib.dateFormat"); } catch (Exception e) { logger.debug("Unexpected error occurred when trying to read" + " 'maven.changelog.vsslib.dateFormat' property", e); } if (dateFormat == null) { dateFormat = "MM/dd/yy h:mma"; } return new SimpleDateFormat(dateFormat); }

Can you send a diff file? it will be more easy to apply.
