Getting the data is someone that anyone can do fairly easily. I think it can even be done anonymously. We created an Eclipse plugin years ago that created a Eclipse UI for working with the issue tracker and it uses these mechanisms. I will dig into the code and send an example later today. I know the format is XML and I am pretty sure there is a button in the UI to do this as well. But if not, it is just sending the right GET request. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
