JIRA 5.x Development Cookbook

Overview of this book

JIRA provides issue tracking and project tracking for software development teams to improve code quality and the speed of development. "JIRA 5.x Development Cookbook" is a one stop resource to master extensions and customizations in JIRA. You will learn how to create your own JIRA plugins, customize the look and feel of your JIRA UI, work with workflows, issues, custom fields, and much more. "JIRA 5.x Development Cookbook" starts with recipes on simplifying the plugin development process followed by a complete chapter dedicated to the plugin framework to master plugins in JIRA. Then we will move on to writing custom field plugins to create new field types or custom searchers. We then learn how to program and customize workflows to transform JIRA into a user friendly system. Reporting support in an application like JIRA is inevitable! With so much data spanning across different projects, issues, and so on, and a lot of planning done for the project, we will cover how to work on reports and gadgets to get customized data according to our needs. We will then look at customizing the various searching aspects of JIRA such as JQL, searching in plugins, managing filters, and so on. "JIRA 5.x Development Cookbook" steers towards programming issues, such as creating, editing, and deleting issues, creating new issue operations, managing the various other operations available on issues via the JIRA APIs, and so on. In the latter half of "JIRA 5.x Development Cookbook", you will learn how to customize JIRA by adding new tabs, menus, and web items, communicate with JIRA via the REST, SOAP or XML/RPC interfaces, and work with the JIRA database. The book ends with a chapter on useful and general JIRA recipes.

Acknowledgement

No book is the product of just the author; he just happens to be the one with his name on the cover.

A number of people contributed to the success of this book, and it would take more space than I have to thank each one individually.

First of all, thanks to the Almighty God for helping me to sail through the difficulties in this short life and for making my life as wonderful as it is now.

The next biggest thanks goes to Project Coordinator, Hardik Patel, and Lead Technical Editor, Sruthi Kutty, both of whom went through the pain of making me write another book. Also, thanks to the entire Packt Publishing team for working so diligently to help bring out another high quality product.

It is amazing to work with a team of talented developers and technical geeks. Thank you STORM team, PD&B team, and RAMP team. Your encouragement and support were invaluable to me; you guys rock!

I must also thank the talented JIRA community who are instrumental in helping each other, sharing solutions, being active in the forums, running user groups, and what not? I am just one of the many who have benefited.

Before I wind up, thank you Atlassian for giving us JIRA and a set of other wonderful products. You don't realize how much you are making our lives easier!

Last, but not the least, a big thanks to all at Go2group for the support extended in writing this book and believing in my capabilities.
