Testing a plugin for JIRA 7

[Frédéric Tardieu]

Hi all,

• Which version should be put in a pom.xml to test a plugin against JIRA 7?

Thank you,

Fred

Hi Frédéric,

You have error: "Unsupported major.minor version 52.0" that indicates that your java is older than java used to build jira.war. Googling tells me that 52.0 is Java 8, so you need to install Java 8 JDK.

If you have not checked yet, please check docs form Atlassian: https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/latest-updates/preparing-for-jira-7-0

Hi Volodymyr, Thanks a lot it's all good after switching to Java 8 JDK! I've been reading the "Preparing for Jira 7.0" paper, and I am wondering how to maintain a plugin for both JIRA 6 & JIRA 7 (server): as some dependencies change, how to manage a plugin that should be available on JIRA 6 & 7 in terms of code? Do you have this experience? Is it possible to "monocode" (i-e use a kind of build version condition to isolate in the pom.xml, atlassian-plugin.xml and the sources depending on the target version)? Cheers, Fred

This is the kind of question I need to resolve for my plugin too :-). I guess that I will look to it during the week. Will write back here.

Hi Frédéric,

You can check it in maven repo: https://maven.atlassian.com/content/groups/public/com/atlassian/jira/jira-api

There is a lot of daily releases but I would use 7.0.0-m01.

Hi Volodymyr,

Thanks a lot. I had a try run with 7.0.0-m01 and anoter 7.x version, but JIRA fails to start correctly with the following errors (see below).

Am I missing a prerequisite on the machine?

Cheers,

Fred
