Getting help with the JIRA REST Java Client (JRJC)

Question

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?

Well, indeed this is obviously the main place for information about the JRJC library.

However, as of today the information on this page is contradictory: in the top row it says "Atlassian no longer supports Jira REST Java Client library. If you have any questions about it, post them in the Atlassian Community.". In the bottom it says "Both JIRA REST API and JRJC are still being developed".

My original question refers to the handling of JIRA Sprints, and this topic is not addressed on this page (and is apparently also not of much interest within the Atlassian Community).

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

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.
