Can I use JQL queries inside my Jira plugin

[Stjepan Vukadin]

Hi,

is it possible to use JQL queries inside plugin that your are developing?

If so, can you please provide a very simple rudimentary example how to implement it, or even just point me in a correct direction what classes from JIRA SDK should I use.

Regards,
Stjepan

It's well buried in the docs now, but have a look at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/__Searching+in+JIRA

Hi Stjepan,

Sure it's possible. Just search for JqlQueryBuilder here and you will find a lot of samples.

Thank you for your answers!

Is it possible just to pass a JQL string (e.g. "project = TEST AND issuetype = Story") and then query JIRA?

The problem with JqlQueryBuilder in my case is that I am getting JQL queries as strings.

The link I gave tells you both how to build queries by adding clauses, and by parsing plain JQL strings (although it is a bit densely written, it is in there - look for the word "parse")

Yes, found it! Thank you! Work's like a charm.
