How to import JIRA JAVA API locally and connect to JIRA instance to pull data?

[Kiran Pamuru]

Hello everyone,

Like the summary says, I want to import JIRA JAVA API packages to my local environment, so I could connect to JIRA and pull the data I want. Kindly let me know how I should achieve this?

Thank you in advance.

The Jira Java API packages are pretty much useless to you outside Jira.

To connect to Jira and "pull" data, you will want to be using the REST API, for which the Jira Java API packages are useless, they have nothing to say about what you'll get back from REST.

Could you explain what you are trying to do?  With the data that you can "pull"?
