Unable to create jira custom service

[xavier jir]

Hi

i would like to create jira custom service. I'm using atlassian sdk 3.8.

so i imported some packages of atlassian api in my program. when i run atlas-package it shows the following error in command prompt window.

[ERROR] BUILD FAILURE

Looks like ComponentManager is part of jira-core, (see https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Java+API+Policy+for+JIRA)

Add the following to your pom.xml after the jira-api dependency.

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

hi i get solution for this.. thanks for your timing help..

now i get all the projects by getProjects() method from project manager..

Next i would like to get issues for that project. so i need to use iterator.

That i dont know how to use and implement that..Pls guide me...

[xavier jir]

hi please guide me how to get the due date for the issue. Please post the code bcz i'm the learner.. So i didnt knw many things.. Please post brief example...

[Bahar Çağlar]

I added the dependency but it does not work. What is the problem?

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]]

Make sure you rebuild the Eclipse project.

alas-mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse

[Shaikh Moiz]

that really worked thanks :)

Atlassian in documentation https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/latest/com/atlassian/jira/ComponentManager.html wrote:

This component manager uses PicoContainer to resolve all the dependencies between components.
It is responsible for initialising a large number of components in JIRA. Any components defined here may be injected via a constructor.
The ComponentManager also has various static accessor methods for non-Pico-managed objects, eg. ComponentManager.getInstance().getProjectManager(). Plugins developers should no longer use these - please use ComponentAccessor instead.

so your code should loks like below (then dependency is not needed)

ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager().getAllProjectCategories();

[Andrew Pechnikov]

You don't initialize your ProjectManager instance correctly. Try
ProjectManager pm = ComponentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(ProjectManager.class);
Import all required libraries and uncomment jira-core dependency in your POM file.

I have a similar problem with the sdk on os x 10.6 with eclipse as I'm developing a CustomField JIRA pluging. Eclipse can't seem to resolve the import for com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager, but has no trouble with other JIRA classes (e.g. jira.Issue, jira.MockComponentManager).

[xavier jir]

Actually i try to get all the project categories from the JIRA. So I import these two lines..

import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;

Then i retrive the projectcategories by getProjectCategories()method..

So i Used this line

ProjectManager pm = ComponentManager.getInstance().getProjectCategories();

After i do this i run the atlas-package command in command window.. That time it shows the error as i said above...

Is this the correct way to retrive all the project categories from JIRA or anyother ways are available?

If u know please make me clear...

[JamieA]

I don't see any getProjectCategies method here: http://docs.atlassian.com/jira/4.4/com/atlassian/jira/ComponentManager.html

ComponentManager.getInstance().getProjectManager().getProjectCategories() should do what you want.

[xavier jir]

Yes you are correct... But just importing these two packages in my program it shows error..

package com.first.module;

import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import com.atlassian.configurable.ObjectConfiguration;
import com.atlassian.configurable.ObjectConfigurationException;
import com.atlassian.jira.service.AbstractService;
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;
public class MyPlugin extends AbstractService
{
public void run()
{
System.out.println("Hi------Done");
}
public ObjectConfiguration getObjectConfiguration() throws ObjectConfigurationException
{
return getObjectConfiguration("MYSERVICE", "com/first/module/myservice.xml", null);
}
}

See i just import that 2 packages in my program. but for atlas-package it shows the same error "cant find the symbol" What to do?

[xavier jir]

Actually what my full work is to retrive all the project categories from JIRA and from that project categories i've to get projects and get issues and due date for that issue...

Pls Guide me...

[xavier jir]

This is my program which i'm trying to run.. if i add

import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;

Without these 2 import statements it runs.

But if i add just these 2 packages means it shows the error which i mentioned above.. Please kindly tel me the solutions what are all the things i've to do. and what i necesarry to run this code perfectly...

package com.first.module;

import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import com.atlassian.configurable.ObjectConfiguration;
import com.atlassian.configurable.ObjectConfigurationException;
import com.atlassian.jira.service.AbstractService;
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;

//import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
public class MyPlugin extends AbstractService
{

public void run()
{
//ProjectManager pm = ComponentManager.getInstance().getProjectCategories();
System.out.println("Hi------Done");
}
public ObjectConfiguration getObjectConfiguration() throws
ObjectConfigurationException
{
return getObjectConfiguration("MYSERVICE", "com/first/module/myservice.xml", null);
}


}

Sorry, I don't understand. The code you've given has a couple of imports, but the line is commented out, so I'd expect that to be fine, and just do nothing.

Could you explain this again - what are you compiling and running?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Your code is missing an import, or is referring to something you haven't defined. You'll need to fix your code.

I'd recommend using a java-aware IDE to develop your code, because that will tell you about missing reference before you get to the compilation stage.
