JIRA is a proprietary bug tracking system written in J2EE by Atlassian Software, who also make the proprietary wiki Confluence.
Both of the products, while proprietary and available under commercial licensing terms, are freely licensed by Atlassian to open source projects and non-profits. These people may contact Atlassian to obtain the free license.
JIRA supports various features, including RSS, however RSS feeds in JIRA must be appended with “os_username=name&os_password=pass”, to generate an authentication token for a secured JIRA server.
