How to import Jira plugin

[Chandan Gupta]

I went through the JIRA plugin development and created a hello world plugin.

Now how can I use this plugin in On-Prem Jira server? i.e. how can I import it to other jira server?

First you need to run the atlas-mvn package command. Then there will be 3 files in the target folder. Open your Jira and go to System-Add-ons->Manage add-ons and click the Upload Add-on button. Then choose either the <yourplugin>.jar or <yourplugin>.obr file from the target folder of your plugin and push the Upload button. Your plugin will be installed.

do I need to change the plugin descriptor (XML file) as well or it will get updated automatically.

You do not need to change the plugin descriptor
