Technically, it doesn't really matter where you put the code, as long as your atlassian-plugin.xml points to the right place. But src\main\java\ is the right directory if you want to follow standards. You can call it whatever you like, but make sure you make the right changes to atlassian-plugin.xml

When starting out, you might find it easier to start coding by amending the files it's created for you, but you'll need to change them eventually, so I'd suggest doing that first. Make sure the skeleton compiles and runs ok, then have a go at renaming it without making other changes. Once you've got the hang of renaming it, you'll see how it all works.

This makes me think you used the confluence, and not the jira archetype?

But it doesn't make a great deal of difference, Nic is right.

yes by mistake i did atlas-create-confluence-plugin......

If you've picked the wrong archetype, it's worth going back to the right one. Although they're similar and you can convert them, it's easier to redo from start. (Yes, I've done exactly the same. Many times. I blame starting new code before I've had enough coffee)

yup...thnx nic...i did that....:-)
