ABSTRACT
Project Central is a Java J2EE issue tracking system designed to support multiple projects with independent user bases. It supports features such as project components, detailed histories, per project user permissions and multiple email notifications. Primary goal is to provide a simple, yet powerful issue tracking system easily usable by non-technical people. This is accomplished by providing a simple web based system that can be customized on a per installation basis. Project Central allows us to automate the issue management in an hierarchical manner. There are four types of issues bug, task, request and support issue needs to be maintained by Project Central.
Project Central provides the ability to create new issues in a project from the project list page. Users must have Create Issue permission in the project they wish to create the issue in. Currently a new issue is only required to have a description and a history entry by default, but required custom fields can also be added. It also provides the ability to modify existing issues in a project from the project issue list page and view the issues.
Project Central will add the ability to control permissions via user roles and groups. While the permission system is flexible, it is difficult to manage the permissions with a large number of users and projects. The new system will allow a group to be created, and a set of permissions assigned to the group. Then users can be assigned to the group. The group’s users and permissions can be modified at any time. These groups will form the core set of permissions for a user, which can then be augmented individually if needed.
