Error Integrating Netbeans with JIRA Cloud

[Domenick Lacertosa]

We are using JIRA Cloud and are trying to integrate it with Netbeans 8.2 as a Task Repository, but we are receiving the error "No JIRA repository found at location. Invalid URL or proxy problem." (screenshot attached). I read that the JIRA REST endpoints are enabled by default with JIRA Cloud instances. Am I using the correct "Task Repository URL" in the attached screenshot?  I am able to access the task repository URL if I copy / paste it into a browser.

Thanks in advance.

I found the problem.  Netbeans ships with two different JIRA connectors.  One for JIRA 3.13+ which uses SOAP, and one for JIRA 5.0+ which uses the REST interface.  Changing the connector to JIRA 5.0+ solved the problem.  I did this by clicking Tools->Options->Team then selecting the JIRA 5.0+ radio button and then restarting the IDE.

Hi Domenick,

From the research I've seen the most common cause is not using the email address as the username. 

There appears to be a bug in Netbeans 8.2 that may be causing this as well.  Please take a look at the bug on Netbeans Bugzilla page Bug 271227 - Impossible to add a new task repository.

Cheers,

Branden

Hi Branden.  I looked at the logs and I am running into a different issue than the bug you referenced.  It is logging this:

JiraServiceUnavailableException: No JIRA repository found at location. Invalid URL or proxy problem.

So I believe it is an issue with the Task Repository URL.  Am I using the correct URL and how can I validate that the web services are running on my JIRA cloud instance?  

Thanks again,

Domenick
