I'm happy to try out an upgrade to Bugzilla before I start campaigning that Jira is sufficiently better.
Jira's Roadmap and Changelog are the two features that blow Bugzilla away for me. Attempting to do version management in Bugzilla was so frustrating that I simply gave up. Jira would also allow us to administer our own components and not have to ask infrastructure to add new version id's for component X etc. I'm not however convinced that Jakarta Commons is a good fit for Jira. I don't think they can handle us yet. The following is an example of a Commons like project in Jira. I encourage anyone who's not used Jira to go have a look at this link and get a feel for how easy it is to use, compared to the mess that is our bugzilla installation. http://issues.osjava.org:8080/jira/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=10010 As I have modelled each Commons-like component as a Component in Jira, it's hard to know how many there actually are. You also can't have separate versions for different components. Jira only have a two level project system. Project + Component, and Components are just a marker, so it's far too limited. I think Bugzilla is the same. We really need something in which Components are just projects within a larger projects.
