Are there any updated tutorials on how to build a job plugin?

[Luca Andreatta]

Hi,

I need to build a custom job inside Jira as a plugin, but the only tutorial that I have found is this one:

• https://developer.atlassian.com/server/framework/atlassian-sdk/scheduling-events-via-sal-tutorial/

But it is based on a 2012 project.

Is there anyone that can help me to build something better?

Ok, I found an interesting example in "JIRA Development Cookbook - Third Edition" book, in chapter 11 to write a service in Jira.

In Jira you can create a job or a service with a plugin. A job is configured directly in the class, instead the service is added and configured from the System > Service page.

The example of the service plugin can be found in this GitHub repository:

• https://github.com/PacktPublishing/JIRA-Development-Cookbook-Third-Edition

N.B.: if you want to install it in Jira 8, before packaging it,  you have to modify the pom.xml import-package section with:

• *;version="0";resolution:=optional
