JIRA plugin for bazaar ?

[Guillermo Gonzalez]

Hi,

As a follow up to this thread, I spent 2 days playing with Jira PDK
(plugin dev kit).
Using the subversion plugin as template, I finally have a "working"
bazaar plugin for jira :-). (it's for Jira 3.13)

Here are some screenshots:
project-panel: http://verterok.com.ar/images/bzr-jira/bzr-jira.png
issue-panel: http://verterok.com.ar/images/bzr-jira/bzr-jira-2.png

Still lacks integration with a web viewer, but I'm planning to add
support for loggerhead in a few days.

There are a lot of things to be improved, but it's working (at least
in my dev enviroment ;).

There isn't any docs about how to configure, but if someone is
interested in help wirting such docs, test it, etc. I can write down a
brief explanation and assemble a jar to be installed.

Cheers,

--Guillermo
