integration of Jira into web site

[Aristedes Maniatis <ar...@ish.com.au>]

I tried an experiment just now which mostly worked out:

http://cayenne.apache.org/doc/jpa-introduction.html

That table is embedded into the Confluence page in a dynamic fashion,  
directly from Jira's RSS feed. The repeating content in the last  
columns looks like it may be a bug in Confluence itself, so I'll need  
to see if it already has been reported. But otherwise, this could be  
really useful. We could use this concept to create:

* automated release notes complete with links back to Jira
* roadmaps and/or countdown of tasks toward a particular release more  
readily obvious
* specific task lists against parts of Cayenne (eg JPA, the modeler,  
etc)


This might be another reason to add specific versions (2.0, 2.0.1,  
2.0.2, etc) to Jira. It would not have to be done retrospectively,  
just for future releases.
