And IMO we could wait for starting the new project and bugtracking until
they´ve
solved the problems ... if it needs only a few weeks.
But we should have a the same infrastructure for the whole ant project
- same scm system for ant core and ant libs (svn)
- same bugtracking for ant core and ant libs (whatever)
Personally I´d prefer Bugzilla, because I am familiar with that. Jira would
be
complete new to me. Nearly the same as svn. But that´s a solvable problem.

Axis is using Jira; I'm not 100% happy with the text of the messages it
sends out, but it seems reliable.
Go to http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa
and create your own account to scope it out.
What is nice is that it integrates w/ SCM if you set up your keywords
right and include bug#s in check ins, then you can search for all
patches related to a defect. There is good meta-level reporting, the
thing managers like
we use it internally with subversion; I think we'd like to do that for
the OSS core we work on, but the sourceforge infrastructure isnt ready
for either, so we'd have to host ourselves (not that hard, we have a
8mbit optical link to the uk superjanet network so that CERN can run LHC
simulations on the ia64 rack :), its just the extra operational effort.
Regarding SVN, people like it for its transacted approach; you get
atomic operations. I miss the IDEA integration, but here the eclipse
plugin is good, and I'm sure that IDEA will catch up. Its less important
with the ant codebase as I tend to do fewer major refactorings (like
moving entire packages). It can create support calls related to proxies
IMO a move to Jira is less traumatic than an SVN migration. One changes
the web ui for bugs, the other transforms how your code is accessible.
What is important with a JIRA migration is that the bugzilla repository
gets locked off the moment it happens. All old urls should still
resolve, but nobody should be allowed to edit existing bugs in bugzilla;
they should all be moved to jira.
