Scheduling jobs in a Jira Data center plugin like it's 2024...

[Marty Henderson]

Ever wondered how to create scheduled jobs in your Jira Data Center plugin? 

Well, here's a guide I put together on how to get it done with explanations of the various steps https://medium.com/@martyhenderson/scheduling-jobs-in-a-jira-data-center-plugin-like-its-2024-5ff53c8c9c24

I've always found that area of the code a bit tricky to understand, so I thought I'd share my experiences in how to get it working in a way that makes sense. (For me, anyways...)

Hopefully this will help some of you DC app developers get started and navigate this tricky area.

Hello Marty Henderson,

thank you for this tutorial!

Could you provide an example of configuring the job in the atlassian-plugin.xml file?

Kind regards

Hey Julia. So the point is to not set it in the atlassian-plugin.xml. It's handled by the spring wiring. In my example, this is handled in the JobScheduler class.

You can see an example https://github.com/Teams-Work-Ltd/jira-enhanced-scheduler-plugin-test/blob/main/src/main/java/com/teamswork/scheduler/test/component/JobScheduler.java
