programmatic interface to JIRA

Does anyone know of a programmatic interface to JIRA? I am looking for a 
better way to generate the release notes. Currently, the 
ReleaseNotesGenerator parses JIRA reports. This has turned out to be an 
unstable api. The content of these reports changes significantly during 
the interval between our releases: important information shifts between 
elements or sometimes totally disappears. I'm looking for a stable 
programmatic api.

Thanks,
-Rick

No.
Infra won't let you do that.

Thanks Kristian. I have been poking around in the xml-rpc api. I'd 
really like to connect to the database behind JIRA so that I can query 
it directly. Have you found a way to do that?

Hi Rick,

I've tried both the SOAP and the XML-RPC interfaces. They're not 
perfect, but may be sufficient for your purposes.
