How do I use the Java API?

[Brian L]

I'm trying to figure out how to work the Java API for Jira.

I've added in this dependency into my pom.xml:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.atlassian.jira</groupId>
<artifactId>jira-api</artifactId>
<version>${jira.version}</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

I am trying to use the DefaultPluginManager Java API and imported:

com.atlassian.plugin.manager.DefaultPluginManager

I then added the following code:

@JiraImport

private final DefaultPluginManager defaultPluginManager;

public PluginDemo(DefaultPluginManager defaultPluginManager) {

 this.defaultPluginManager = defaultPluginManager;

}

which worked fine. As a test then, I tried to use the getPlugins() method to gather all the plugins but the only way I got it to work is if I did:

Collection<com.atlassian.jira.plugin> list = defaultPluginManager.getPlugins();

It didn't throw any errors at me when I ran atlas-run, but whenever I would load up the plugin it didn't load up onto the localhost Jira server, saying the plugin could not be deployed in time.

Am I missing anything for using the Java API?
