JTrac

JTrac is a free, open-source issue-tracking web application written in Java and licensed under Apache Software License 2.0. It tracks bugs, action items, and tasks using project-specific fields and workflows. Administrators can set project roles, workflow states, and field-level permissions. Each project space supports up to 10 dropdown fields, 5 free-text fields, 3 numeric fields, and 3 date/time fields. Work tools include item history, file attachments, full-text search, custom-field filtering, dashboards, and Excel export. Status changes trigger email notifications by default, with SMTP configured by an administrator. Authentication options include LDAP, Active Directory, and CAS single sign-on; LDAP handles authentication only, so administrators must also create users and assign them to project spaces. JTrac requires Java 8 or higher, and a JRE is sufficient. It can use its embedded web server and database or be deployed as a WAR in a servlet 3.1 compliant container. The project lists developers, end users, IT, and quality engineers as its intended audience.
