Integrate JIRA with automated build process

(from jira-user mailing list):

Hi All,

I wrote a quick and dirty little class to integrate JIRA with our
existing build notification process and figured I'd share it in case
anyone is looking to do something similar.

Our build process is designed to send out an email when it is complete
and included in the email is all the issues that were fixed in that
build. This is primarily for the benefit of our QA department. Anyway I included a sample pic of what the email looks like (basically mimics JIRA). The class also updates a custom field that we use for the build number.

There is some stuff that is specific to the way my company works so you would need to make some changes before using this. I did try to
externalize most parameters into a props file, at least to make it
useable by multiple projects without recompiling, but there is still
stuff that needs changing (like the base JIRA url) in the code.

Anyway, if nothing else I figure its starting point for anyone else that might have the same kind of automatted processes.
