How to create our own jira plugin ?

Question

Hi.

I want to create jira plugin. To access some methods i want to create RPC JIRA Plugin which is similer to the existing one. Can you give the steps which i want to follow.

Also i want to know when i adding new methods to RPC JIRA Plugin it's necessary to add "test" methods also?  With out test methods can i run this plugin.(test means files in /test folder)

Thanks.

Adding test methods  is optional. In your case you should get the original Rpc service from the Atlassian sources (you need a commercial license for that) and integrate your changes. Of course you must disable the existing rpc plugin or you can deploy your plugin on a different service path (change this in your plugin module description)

Assuming you are on-demand, you cannot add your own plugins.
