Using Jira Portfolio JAVA API along side existing Jira Plugin?

[DPKJ]

I have existing Jira plugin, to which I want to add some features that will require "Jira Portfolio Plugin" Java API.

Will adding Jira Portfolio Java API will cause issue for users those who don't have this plugin installed in Jira? If yes how do I add feature to my plugin to support Jira Portfolio.

Hi @DPKJ,

Without doing a lot of research,  I would say this causes problems, because when you try to call something that is not installed, it can not work.

So you must tell your users that they must have Portfolio installed and check in your code, if Portfolio is available and continue only then.

I was also thinking on same front. Thanks.
