Hello Nic,

I did set up the Java project. I am trying to compile the existing REST JAVA code available in using maven, on a command prompt I get the below error

I can see the jar file and on exploding it I can see the Predicate class in there. Any help in this regard will be helpful.

Do you mean a java program external to Jira?  If so, you'll need to use the REST API to call Jira functions.  You don't need a lot of Jira knowledge here - create a java program like any other, and write REST calls in it.
