maven-changes-plugin:3.0.0-M2 causes "Error in the JQL Query"

Hi All,

I'd post this to the MCHANGES Jira project, but I don't seem to have
rights for that, so:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EXEC-124

Summary:

[INFO] Generating "JIRA Report" report   ---
maven-changes-plugin:3.0.0-M2:jira-changes
[ERROR] Error in the JQL Query: 'EXEC' is a reserved JQL word. You
must surround it in quotation marks to use it in a query. (line 1,
character 11)
[WARNING]
org.apache.maven.plugin.MojoExecutionException: Failed to query
issues; response 400
    at org.apache.maven.plugins.changes.jira.RestJiraDownloader.reportErrors
(RestJiraDownloader.java:453)

TY,
Gary
