I am creating JIRA plugin that will connect to external database when one custom field 'a' have value. I am wondering do I need to create a jira-plugin-module for it or I can proceed by creating .java file. Plz answer.
Hello,
the short answer is yes. If you want to run code from .java file, you'll need jira-plugin-module.
However, I'd suggest you to have look on the ScriptRunner plugin (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/6820/scriptrunner-for-jira). It uses groovy as a scripting language, which is quite accessible for Java developer and is aimed exactly on the problem, you're working on.
Best regards,
Ondra
