Hello fellow Xalan developers.
Xalan has been using Bugzilla as its bug-tracking system for a number of
years.
Recently the Apache Infrastructure team installed a new tool name JIRA
(sound like Beer - ahhh).
You can check it out at:
http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa
If you have a bugzilla account (and you should if you are a Xalan
developer) then you should use the same user ID for JIRA. I don't know
what will happen if you don't do this ....
You will need a new password for JIRA which you can easily set up from the
page indicated above by putting ID in and clicking "Forgot Password".
Later you can log in with the one mailed to you and set it as you like.
Niel Graham, who was involved with migrating Xerces to JIRA has said this:

I like the way the different Apache projects that are on JIRA have "issue"
keys that are not just numbers but a prefix indicating the product,
followed by a number, e.g. XERCESC-1209.
I'm suggesting we migrate with an historical link to our existing bugs in
bugzilla.
