How can I include the main Jira theme using a velocity template?

How can I include the main Jira theme using a velocity template?

I do have a plugin that is succesfully using velocity but I want to make it's interface a part of Jira user interface.

I know how to add menu items for the plugin pages but I don't know how to include the jira theme (top navigation, header, footer) from my VM template.

The key is to use the appropriate decorator, which can be done by defining the meta tags in <head>.

Something like:

&lt;meta content="section_name" name="admin.active.section"&gt;

Maybe I wasn't clear, I have a velocity template that contains the full HTML body and I do want to write only the stuff I want to add inside the body. BTW, this plugin is not for admin section.

I was just giving an example (admin section). But that is how you do it. You only need the actual content in the body but also need a head section with the appropriate meta tag. I think that will be lot better than including the header/footer etc by your self. Decorators will take care of that!
