Writing a Jira plugin: how to find issues changed after a given date?

jlk191603

I'm writing a plugin for Jira.
I need to find issues that were changed after a given date.
Please tell me, how I can do that.

IssueManager can only find issues by id and list of ids.

public class Utils{

    @ComponentImport
    private SearchProvider searchProvider;

    @ComponentImport
    private UserManager userManager;

    @ComponentImport
    private IssueManager issueManager;


    @Inject
    public Utils( IssueManager issueManager, UserManager userManager, SearchProvider searchProvider ){
        this.issueManager = issueManager;
        this.userManager = userManager;
        this.searchProvider = searchProvider;
        ...
    }

    public List<Issue> getIssuesByDateUpdateAfter( Date dTime ) throws SearchException{
        JqlQueryBuilder builder = JqlQueryBuilder.newBuilder();
        builder.where().addDateCondition( IssueFieldConstants.UPDATED, Operator.GREATER_THAN_EQUALS, dTime );
        return searchIssues( builder.buildQuery() );
    }

    public List<Issue> searchIssues( Query query ){
        ApplicationUser user = userManager.getUserByName( username );
        SearchQuery searchQuery = SearchQuery.create( query, user );
        IssueIdCollector collector = new IssueIdCollector();
        try{
            ThreadLocalSearcherCache.startSearcherContext();
            searchProvider.search( searchQuery, collector );
        }catch( Exception e ){
            e.getMessage();
        }finally{
            ThreadLocalSearcherCache.stopAndCloseSearcherContext();
        }
        return searchIssues(collector);
    }

    public List<Issue> searchIssues(IssueIdCollector collector){
        Set<String> strIds = collector.getIssueIds();
        List<Long> ids = new ArrayList<>();
        for( String strId : strIds ){
            ids.add( Long.parseLong( strId ) );
        }
        return issueManager.getIssueObjects( ids );
