Generally the code still needs work.  It's generated code, so it's  
still rough but by far the best option out there for people who want  
a java client to either confluence or jira.

I had to create it to get some work I was doing done.  Being the kind  
of guy I am I decided it was about time someone just created a java  
version of the entire API rather than just the part they needed, so I  
did.  But now I'm sitting on a heap of code that is way more than I  
personally need.

It works well enough, but to really use it you're going to want  
access to the source.
