Atlassian Plugin Development

My Goal is to write a Atlassian STASH plugin.
Before getting started into plugin development, I need to install Atlassian plugin SDK.

I just started with the URL https://developer.atlassian.com/docs/getting-started/set-up-the-atlassian-plugin-sdk-and-build-a-project

My development environment is Windows and it  installed Atlassian plugin SDK under C:\Users\SBGurusiddappa\atlassian-plugin-sdk

• This has bundled a maven 3.2.1 and it got a maven repository under it.

The  SDK got wrapper bash scripts (atlas commands), which are really cool.
The below atlas command can start a test instance of Jira
    atlas-run-standalone --product jira
This really cool to deploy and test the Plugin on Jira test instance.

Jira Plugin Development Highlights

• Install JDK
• Install Atlassian SDK

Running Jira Test Instance

• Mkdir c:\atlastutorial
• atlas-run-standalone --product jira
• Access test jira instance at http://localhost:2990/jira   (login=admin password=admin)
• Projects -> Create New Project -> Test Project (TEST)
• Ctrl-Z  -> Gracefully shutdown JIRA
• Restart JIRA standalone. (  atlas-run-standalone --product jira)

Creating a Jira Plugin

• cd c:\atlastutorial
• atlas-create-jira-plugin (Enter groupID, artifactId, version, package,etc)
• Examine the plugin skeleton (src\main\resources\atlassian-plugin.xml - This file is the descriptor. It defines the plugin modules your plugin uses)

Load the helloworld plugin into Jira

• atlas-run
•  Access http://localhost:2990/jira  -> Administration ->  Add-ons -> Manage Add-ons -> Locate the helloworld plugin listings in User-installed Add-ons category.

Setup Eclipse IDE

• atlas-mvn eclipse:eclipse (to make helloworld ready to be imported into Eclipse)
• File > Import > General > Existing Projects into Workspace > Next
• Select root directory > Browse > Your Atlassian plugin folder should appear under Projects.
• Finish
