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
