Is it possible to create a JIRA project through a REST plugin?

[tommy guo]

Since currently JIRA does not support the creation of new projects using the REST API, I was wondering if it would be possible to create a REST service plugin that would be capable of this. Anyone know if this is possible and if yes how to accomplish it?

Pedro thank you for your reply, after working through the REST plugin tutorial and reading through this coding example: https://bitbucket.org/doklovic_atlassian/atlassian-beer-supply/src/master/src/main/java/com/example/beersupply/components/BeerSupplyProjectCreator.java?at=master

I was able to succesfully create the plugin.

You can also use the JIRA CLI plugin: https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/JCLI/Examples

Yes, see https://developer.atlassian.com/display/DOCS/Developing+a+REST+Service+Plugin

I have an example for this in JIRA 5.x Development Cookbook too.

Hey Jobin, thanks for the speedy reply. Would it be possible for you to post some pseudo code on how to do this?
