Get URL of Image Shipped with Plugin

[Phillip Ponzer [Cprime]]

I have a plugin that creates RemoteIssueLinks. This plugin has a few images I'd like to use as the link's "iconUrl". The images are located in the following folder:

<my-plugin>/src/main/resources/images

What URL can I use to reference those images?

Thank you very much! That led me to what eventually ended up working for me.

Here's what I did:

When building the RemoteLink, for the iconUrl, I had to obtain the applicationProperties in order to get to JIRA's base URL. Like so:

ApplicationProperties applicationProperties = ComponentManager.getInstance().getApplicationProperties();
String url = applicationProperties.getString(APKeys.JIRA_BASEURL)
 + "/download/resources/com.example.jira.mylink/images/"
 + link.getStatus().toLowerCase().replace(" ", "_") + ".png";
return new RemoteIssueLinkBuilder().iconUrl(url).build();
