Hi,
Apache.org and project Harmony are using JIRA instead of "stone-aged"
Bugzilla. There is even a discussion on python.org about using JIRA as
bugtracking-system for Python-development:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-October/069 139.html
Why isn't eclipse.org using the (Java-based) JIRA-bugtracker?
The bugtracking-system is hyperimportant for eclipse.org. So why not using
the best? Bugzilla's HTML-interface is horrid.
Eclipse's bugtracker should be EASY-TO-USE and offer more and better
capabilities to both users and developers (i.e. REST-API)

+1 for JIRA, definitely. It's so much better than Bugzilla ... but there's a lot of work involved in moving to JIRA, not to mention the fact that they'd have to negotiate a license for it.

Please have a look at:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=114883#c16
JIRA is not OSS and that's a major blocker for software running in/on
the Eclipse.org infrastructure.

Well, the Bugzilla HTML-interface is not horrid. It looks plain, looks
simple but the usability is actually quite good and powerful compared to
other systems. BTW, Mylar provides an excellent Bugzilla integration.
You should give it a try if you don't like Bugzilla's HTML interface.
There are even committers that stopped using the HTML interface and
switched completely to Mylar.
Bugzilla definitely has some worthwhile advantages compared to JIRA.
Especially in the area of (email) notifications, which is important for
distributed teams IMHO. But I agree, it also has its limitations.
However, it's open source and you could provide patches for things you
want to improve. :)
Cu, Gunnar

I agree. Bugzilla may have even seemed horrid to me at first, but once I
got used to it (as a user of Eclipse and it's frameworks and an
occasional patch contributor), I found it very usable. For bugs I'm
watching, I mostly read the comments through e-mail and sometimes I also
use it through Mylar.
Also, all the Jira deployments I've used, including apache.org, seem
incredibly slow (but as I've not used it very often, that impression may
be just a coincidence).

-1 on Jira being obviously better than Bugzilla. It certainly has more features, and has a different, more modern looking UI, but I don't think those differences give it an edge over Bugzilla, possibly on the contrary.
I used both for 3 years (Bugzilla @ Eclipse between 2002-2006, Jira for the last three years). I find hard to agree there is a compelling case for migrating, even if JIRA was open source.
Cheers,
Rafael

It's not about Bugzilla vs. JIRA. It's about Open Source vs.
proprietary. The Eclipse IT policy has not been changed since that
discussion. Anything that runs on Eclipse.org servers must be Open Source.
For the record, I use JIRA too. It's a great product. But I appreciate
the policy even more. Open Source should run on Open Source.
