Preface
What This Book Is About

This book is about plugins for JIRA, the popular issue tracker from Atlassian. An issue tracker lets people collaborate better when there are things to be done. You can use an issue tracker for everything from tracking bugs in software, to customer support requests, and beyond. Plugins extend what JIRA can do and can be developed separately from JIRA.

This book is intended for people who want to create and maintain JIRA plugins. Plugins have been a part of JIRA since version 3.0 and a significant community has emerged around them. That community is even large enough to have an annual gathering known as AtlasCamp .

Writing JIRA plugins requires some technical knowledge. This book assumes that you can write simple Java program and are familiar with ideas such as implementing an interface, extending a class and where to find information about the core Java classes. In a few places this book also assumes that you have access to the JIRA source code. This is available from Atlassian with any JIRA license that costs $10 or more.

The intention of this book is to supplement but not repeat the extensive JIRA documentation freely available at (OReilly).

In selecting the different plugins to cover in this book, I was conscious of the different kinds of JIRA plugins that I am asked to implement most frequently as a software toolsmith. I chose the most commonly requested ones. If you cant find a particular plugin type and think it should be in this book, then please do contact me with more details.

JIRA Versions and System Details

This book refers to the version JIRA 4.2.4 Standalone that was released in February 2011. Where there are differences between versions of JIRA these are noted in the text.

The system used throughout this book is a Linux server with JDK 1.6 and MySQL. The main differences for other operating systems, deployment types, databases, and JVMs are the installation instructions and the names and paths of certain files. These details are described in the online JIRA documentation.

Development Environment

This book was written using OSX 10.6.7 on a Mac Mini 2.1 using DocBook 4.5, Emacs 22.1.50.1 and Subversion 1.5.2. The output files were generated using a custom remote toolchain provided by OReilly for their authors. Using a remote toolchain makes it easier to use DocBook and allows books to be updated more frequently.

Acknowledgments

Many people at Atlassian have encouraged and assisted me with this book, but Bryan Rollins, Andreas Knecht, Jonathan Doklovic, and Dan Rosen stand out. Thanks also to my new colleagues at CustomWare. But in the end its the Atlassian developer community that makes it worth writing a book like this. Thank you to all of you for your generously given information and intriguing discussions over the past five years.

My sincere thanks also go to all the clients of Consulting Toolsmiths for directly and indirectly providing me with the knowledge of which JIRA plugins are hardest to get right.

Behind all I do is my dearest wife Katherine and beloved children Lizi, Jacob, and Luke. Thank you all, and may the love of God rest and remain with you always.
