The changelog produces a report containing links to the corresponding source files and their revisions. However, it is not possible to remove the link. I would like to see a list of the change messages only, giving an overview what changes have been made to the repository.
In my projects we don't use an online repository so in our changelog report the links are broken. I checked some other online maven sites. It turns out that for many projects the changelog links are broken!
It would be nice if you can alter this behaviour with properties. I suggest something like: maven.changelog.show.fileLinks=false
Thanks,

If you don't have an online repository then I suppose your repository.url is empty or absent. So there is no need to introduce a new property. I have deployed a SNAPSHOT where links are not constructed in this case, please test:
maven plugin:download -Dmaven.repo.remote=http://www.ibiblio.org/maven,http://cvs.apache.org/repository/
-DgroupId=maven -DartifactId=maven-changelog-plugin -Dversion=1.9.1-SNAPSHOT
