jira-versions-gadget

This is a Jira plug-in with a dashboard gadget to list released versions.

How to Install to Jira

• Open your Jira installation and in it "Manage Apps" in the System Settings.
• Upload the JAR from the release (or from the project's /target folder - if you built the plug-in locally).
• Create or open a Dashboard and add the gadget "Released Versions".

How to Deploy

Note: See Dev-Notes for Atlassian developer documentation.

• Open terminal on project folder (the one with the pom.xml in it.
• Call atlas-mvn package
• This will create the JAR. You just have to upload it to your server.

How to Develop

Start Server

Note: See Dev-Notes for Atlassian developer documentation.

• Open terminal on project folder (the one with the pom.xml in it.
• Call atlas-run or atlas-debug(see Atlassian documentation for more).
• This will (re)build and (re)test your plug-in and then start a Jira Server with the plug-in installed.

Note: To stop the server, press CTRL+C (see log on terminal).

Hot-Deploy new Build on Running Server

• Open a new terminal while the Jira server is running. (again, open project folder)
• Call atlas-mvn package
• This will rebuild and test your plug-in and redeploy it onto the running Jira server.

Admin-User

• The admin user credentials for your test server are "admin"/"admin".

How to Change the Test Server Specs

If you change the test-server specs by e.g. adding Jira Service Desk, you need to clean the server data to make your changes come to life.

• Stop the server
• On the project folder call atlas-clean
• Start the server again
