Jira Plugins

I'm using Eclipse 3.5 Galileo, following instructions per http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DEVNET/Configuring+Eclipse+to+use+the+SDK

(0) Downloaded the Jira SDK and installed under ~/Jira/atlassian-plugin-sdk-3.0.5

(1) Installed m2eclipse plugin. This required a considerable amount of searching for software install sources for a number of different projects. I used these software sources to install the necessary packages from within the Eclipse software installer.

http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/

http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/updates/

http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ve/updates/1.4

(2) Set the Maven installation directory, as apparently you need to use the one supplied with the Jira SDK

(3) Now following instructions per http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DEVNET/Developing+your+Plugin+using+the+Atlassian+Plugin+SDK

Added to ~/.bashrc:

export PATH=$PATH:~/Jira/atlassian-plugin-sdk-3.0.5/bin

$ mkdir ~/Jira/helloworld

$ cd !$

$ atlas-create-jira-plugin

groupId: com.[...].jira.plugins

artifactId: helloworld

version: 1.0-SNAPSHOT

package: com.[...].jira.plugins

$ atlas-run

Hurray! The plugin appears in the plugins list. A good moment, 4+ hours of work to get here. (The default p/w appears to be admin/admin.)

(4) Actual plugin development!

... 4 hours later ...
