Alternative of com.atlassian.jira.util.map.EasyMap in Jira 5.1.7

[satya L]

Hi,

we are using "com.atlassian.jira.util.map.EasyMap" in our plugins developed for Jira 4.4.5 for the purpose like to get ChangeItems etc .. see below code ,..

We are planning to upgrade our Jira to 5.1.7 and I did not find "com.atlassian.jira.util.map.EasyMap" in jira 5.1.7.

So Can any one please suggest the alternative class to this in Jira 5.1.7, (Or) please share if any alternative ways to achive the same in Jira 5.1.7.

Map params = EasyMap.build("issue", issue.getLong("id"));
		
		List<GenericValue> changeGroups = delegator.findByAnd("ChangeGroup", params);

Map paramsItem = EasyMap.build("group", changeGroup.getLong("id"),"field", "status","fieldtype", "jira");
			
List<GenericValue> changeItems = delegator.findByAnd("ChangeItem", paramsItem);

Use MapBuilder. EasyMap is deprecated.

I'd agree using deprecated stuff should be avoided, however, I think you may be mistaken this time:

EasyMap was deprecated in its original 3.13 - 4.0 package, it has since been moved to a different package in JIRA 5 and is no longer deprecated.

Sometimes, retaining them allows wider version compatibility. That it is deprecated is an indicator it will go away in future, testing will of course pick that up rather quickly. Finding alternatives can be a challenge, something the existing Javadoc does not do nothing more than @deprecated

I see. However, using core package itself is not recommended ;) I still recommend to use MapBuilder.

Hi Jobin, but when i use MapBuilder, i found there is no Map build(Object... objects) as EasyMap, it's not convenient for me to use that when i have many key-value parameter.

Hello! 

Just interesting why time to time in the some place (in the source of product) we meet with easyMap, when can be used guava? 

Also, this one shows refactoring

EasyMap is still there,

com/atlassian/core/util/map/EasyMap.java

Try importing jira-core, I can't quite see where the dependency comes in but I have jira-api and jira-core, EasyMap is visible to me?

<dependency>

<groupId>com.atlassian.jira</groupId>

<artifactId>jira-core</artifactId>

<version>${jira.version}</version>

<scope>provided</scope>

</dependency>
