Getting help with the JIRA REST Java Client (JRJC)

[maze]

Atlassian offers Java libraries to use the REST API of JIRA using native Java objects ("JIRA REST Java Client"). These libraries are being regularly updated. However, I could not find any up-to-date documentation that would explain configuration, dependencies and also shows some code examples.

I tried to get some help by posting a specific question here, but so far did not get enough response to solve my question.

What am I missing here? Is there a better place to ask for help? Why does Atlassian put effort into the development of these libraries if it does not enable possible developers to use them?

@maze Probably, you're looking for this one: https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JRJC/overview

There are multiple links within the atlassian developer pages.   I assume you have looked here?  https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/software/about-the-javascript-api/

If the Postman Libraries or swagger documention will help, there is a link at the top right of each REST API Webpage:

Thank you for your response, too, but similar to the response of Vishal, this is not what I wanted to ask for. I am explicitly interested in the documentation/examples of the "JIRA REST Java Client". The pages you linked to contain a description of a JavaScript API, I believe this is something completly different.

Can you check below link? it gives sample code in java

Thank you for your response, but this is not what I wanted to ask for. Sorry if my question was misleading. To elaborate further: your link points to the documentation of the REST-API of Jira. I was not able to find any java samples there (do you have a direct link to them?), but most likely they would describe how to write Java code to directly use the REST-API.

The libraries of the "JIRA REST Java Client" on the other hand encapsulate the whole REST-API commands by offering native Java classes/objects. In my view, this makes the use of the REST-API much easier. In fact, one does not need to know anything about the details of the REST-API at all. But unfortunatly these Java libraries are poorly documented.
