What is the  recommended means to create Jira tickets based on failed automatic tests?  We are utilizing Jira Server.  We see a warning in the Atlassian documentation that Jira Rest Java Client is no longer being supported.  There are also some Atlassian repository changes.  Other libraries like net.rcarz are stale.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The Jira Rest client was written by, and supported by volunteers within Atlassian.  Atlassian never really formally supported it.  It's fallen by the wayside as the maintainers have moved on, people are increasingly using different languages, the Server is going away, JRJC is an abstraction layer that is less and less needed to understand the calls, and the REST API for Cloud is different and changes more frequently.

There is no recommendation for replacing it with a direct alternative, you should be looking to code your connections to Jira with direct use of the REST APIs, rather than going through a helper library.
