Add project roles in Jira via REST api in JAVA

[Mark H_ Williams]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the REST Api to manage project roles in JIRA. I've been able to GET a list of the roles and "actors" and DELETE a role member. But I can't POST a new role member correctly. I keep getting a 400 or 405 error. I'm using HttpClient 4.3.2 and Jira 6.0.2. Here is my code:

// Set up ssl configuration as a user in JIRA instance

HttpClient client = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("https://jira.install/rest/api/2/project/KEY/role/10000");

StringEntity input = new StringEntity("\"group\" : \"jira-users\" }");
input.setContentType("application/json");
post.setEntity(input);

client.execute(post);

Has anyone been able to do a similar call successfully?
