can't install this plugin on ES 1.3.2

[jap]

While trying to install this plugin on a vm running elasticsearch 1.3.2 I get the following:

spaans@estest:/usr/share/elasticsearch$ sudo bin/plugin -install derryx/elasticsearch-changes-plugin

 [*] Plugin name could be:

     groupId/artifactId/version   for community plugins (download from maven central or oss sonatype)
     username/repository          for site plugins (download from github master)

Message:
   Error while installing plugin, reason: IllegalArgumentException: Plugin installation assumed to be site plugin, but contains source code, aborting installation.

(Side note: is this a supported configuration at all?)

👍 same here on 1.4, guessing no support for later releases

It should work on version 1.7 from this commit: f1fe2ce. You'll need to create a new build as the releases haven't been updated.

I have this plugin working on version 2.1.1 in my fork.

FYI: This plugin seems deprecaded but this one works like a charm:

Thanks for the hint. I added a note to the README file.
