jagzilla / News: Recent posts

A branch was added for 2.16 and development will now focus on adapting to 2.17

The latest release of jagzilla core includes support for events. Events are a better and more flexible functionallity than the asked mail sending. Jagzilla events let users of jagzilla customize actions taken on certain conditions of usage (ie: send a mail when a bug is modified).

The event system works in a property file configured where names of classes are added to different events.
A mail sending event on bug modification is included, which uses velocity for template processing.... read more

I decided to drop soap and complex WS api and use plain old standards (URI, HTTP, XML). The result is the web services interface will be implemented following the REST Architectural style.
The web application has a few methods working already, soon there will be a client lib implemented.

The eclipse plugin is quite ready,
I have many ideas on what to do, but they are all quite complex.
If you have feature requests for the eclipse plugin or any module, please add them, It'll help me much on development.

Ready for production the eclipse plugin integrates bugzilla into eclipse. This release uses JDBC to access the database, stay tuned waiting for the web services transport to be finished.

The first stable, production ready release must be ready in a few days!

This version contains many working features, with still some not-clean UI, it is totally functional.
The first release is very close since a production-ready revision must be ready within 2 weeks.
lots of operations can be performed from the plugin.

This plugin has almost all core functions working (except for search). Work focus will stay on the plugin for a few weeks, so keep tuned as I expect it to have a fully functionally release by Dec 5.

This release has many more features than the previous. There is still a lot of work to do, but if you want to play around, you'll get more fun with this release.

The first release of the eclipse plugin in on the files section. This is a big step for eclipse fans. Check it out and send any comments, suggestions, or just use it.
Notice that the release is alpha quality... (is the first, early release).

Next download will be #100.
this system is still in somwhat early phase (at least for end used) but I belive is promising. It provides a wide range of features to satisfy the user (webapp, eclipse plugin, custom taglib to enhance the webapp or create new one, web services access).

This is also a drawback, since I'm the only developer at the moment it's quite difficult to mantain a sustaind growth in all components. I'm doing as much as I can. If you want and can help, you are welcome.

The webapplication module of jagzilla has some nice reports, still not for production though, but you can get a really good idea of what you can do. For web developers interested in using this interface. The system is quite close to usable. Some feedback would be great.

New developers releases are available for the webapp and core api
This releases are intended for developers who want to get an idea of where the projects is going without checking out from CVS.
Core api will soon have a first non-developer release.

New javadocs generated are ready and online for browsing or download.

Still for developers only, but the plugin already includes:
- preferences pages
- bugs view (with working code)
- jagzilla navigator view
- jagzilla perspective
This is an important focus of development now.

The first release of the coreapi example has been released. This sould be a good starting point to anyone that want's to see what can be done with jagzilla.

I sited and wrote a few words more, the site is still little, but more info is now available and it will be easier to modify and add info now. check it at http://jagzilla.sf.net

This release includes a highly working hibernate package

Lots of new files are beeing added, still much work is left to do related to xdoclet and hibernate

The very first services exposed in axis are working. This is total bug count.
More are comming as soon as I can deal hibernate issues.

The CVS tag DEVELOPER_RELEASE helps new developers checkout some working code, as the tag name is, these are developer releases, but until more code works integrated, it's a help.

Initial revisions of system are in CVS. Development is done with eclipse so setup is zero cost there.
