-------------------------------------

Unfortunately, the inability to specify a custom message for each commit when using the Server Adapter's publish option is proving to be a challenge for our teams.  Developers tend to make small changes to their codebase and publish each to OpenShift to view its results.  This results in a commit history that looks something like this:

This has been determined to be unacceptable by the development teams and many developers are refusing to use the Eclipse plugins that you've provided.  

Is it possible to add a text field to existing dialog to allow them to specify a custom commit message?  Ideally, it would fantastic if there were a mechanism for consolidating many of these commits into a single commit to cleanup the history, but at a minimum, we must be allowed to clearly specify what is being changed.

I've attached an image of what it "could" look like.

> In Servers tab, when you right-click on an OpenShift server adapter and click Publish, an automatic commit message is generated: "Commit from JBoss Tools".
> This message references JBoss Tools - for JBDS it should mention JBDS. I realise it is difficult to have a different message for JBT and JBDS so I guess the message needs to be changed to not reference either.
