How to get the UserManager in Jira 5?

[Sorin Sbarnea (Citrix)]

I am trying to get the UserManager in Jira 5.1 in a groovy script, which I'm porting to new Jira, but obviously I'm doing something wrong, this being the first time when I write groovy code.

https://gist.github.com/3170993

import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager 
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.DefaultUserManager

userManager = (UserManager) DefaultUserManager()

// also tried .get() or .getInstance() but it doesn't seem to work.

Use ComponentAccessor or inject it in the constructor.

http://docs.atlassian.com/jira/latest/com/atlassian/jira/component/ComponentAccessor.html#getUserManager%28%29

For grrovy, using ComponentAccessor may be the way to go!

// thanks, add this to your answer ;)

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
userManager = (UserManager)  ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
