Jira REST Java Client: Where is it documented?

[Michael Michael]

I found this introduction: https://www.baeldung.com/jira-rest-api to using a Java client to access Jira via REST.

I have spent quite some time scouring the Atlassian sites for documentation (beyond Javadoc) but could not find any.

I would have expected a link from here: https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/java-apis/ . It mentions a "Java API", which I suspect is not the same as "REST Java Client"?

Any pointers towards a user guide or tutorial are appreciated.

Well, at the bottom of that page there is indeed a section titled "Jira REST clients" which has a link to the Jira REST Java Client Library .

Most of these pages however have not been updated since 2012, the FAQ refers to Jira 4.4. I'm wondering whether the Java Client is still an active project.
