   + Create minimal diffs - disable on save actions like reformat source code or organize imports. 
     If you feel the source code should be reformatted, create a separate PR for this change.
   + Check for unnecessary whitespace with `git diff --check` before committing.
-+ Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format. Your commit message should contain the key of the JIRA issue.
-```
-[MPLUGINTESTING-XXX] - Subject of the JIRA Ticket
- Optional supplemental description.

++ Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format.
 + Make sure you have added the necessary tests (JUnit/IT) for your changes.
 + Run all the tests with `mvn -Prun-its verify` to assure nothing else was accidentally broken.
 + Submit a pull request to the repository in the Apache organization.
-+ Update your JIRA ticket and include a link to the pull request in the ticket.

 Making Trivial Changes
