I wonder whether I can progmmatically add watchers to my Jira Issue through Java code instead of manually add it through web browser, for Jira 4.2 version? Is there an open source Jar for this purpose? Thanks.
Hey Wendy,
You need to use WatcherManager. Refer to the API here

Thank you

Thanks. However I can not find a .jar file to download for this WatcherManager, I wonder whether this is open source, especially for Jira 4.2 version? Do you happen to know a place to download its related .jar file? Thanks a lot.
Hi Wendy,
You can develop your own plugins to add functionality to Jira. Refer to the Jira plugin development guide.

There are several tutorials available there. I have a simple tutorial avaiable here which you may also find helpful.

Maybe I did not explain clearly, I am not trying to make modification to my Jira server service, I am trying to automatically create issue and add watchers through another Java program which is not a part or plugin of the Jira server. I am trying to communicate with the Jira server through this other program, rather than through web browser. I guess to build a plugin is to change the Jira server itself and we do not want to do that. We just want to communicate with the server side through program. Sorry for the confusion. Do you have any suggestion towards what I am doing? thanks.
try with this code
WatcherManager watcherManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getWatcherManager(); watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue.getGenericValue()); (or) private UserAssociationStore userAssociationStore = ComponentManager .getComponentInstanceOfType(UserAssociationStore.class); public static final String ASSOCIATION_TYPE = "WatchIssue"; userAssociationStore.createAssociation(ASSOCIATION_TYPE,user, issue.getGenericValue());
