Hi all,
in the last few days I've been using "Jira Client", a Swing frontend
to Jira. Well, it's a nice improvement against the web interface
for me, since gathering jira issues is faster this way.
They do have a license for open source project, and gave me a license
code that allows to interact with all the projects hosted at jira.codehaus.org
If you want to use it too, just ask for the license, I'll send it to you.
The application can be downloaded from http://almworks.com/.
Oh, there is a bug in release 1.0 that prevents the creation of new
issues, but they are working on it, 1.0.1 will have a fix.
Cheers
Andrea
