Update on bug system for OpenJDK (web-discuss)

[Henri Gomez]

I'm using JIRA and Confluence during my day works and they team perfectly.

Atlassian offer free licences for OpenSource project so the cost is
not a problem.
You could have powerfull workflows and some add-ons like GreenHopper,
make JIRA even more attractive.

And of course JIRA is a Java application, perfectly suited for a
project like ... OpenJDK isn't it ?

Just my 2cts.
