This book is your one-stop resource for mastering JIRA extension and customization. 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.
The book 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.
We will then look at customizing the various searching aspects of JIRA such as JQL, searching
in plugins, managing filters, and so on.
Then the book steers towards programming issues; that is, creating/editing/deleting issues,
creating new issue operations, managing the other various operations available on issues
using the JIRA APIs, and so on.
In the latter half of the book, you will learn how to customize JIRA by adding new tabs, menus,
and web items, communicate with JIRA using 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.
