How can I upgrade jira-rpc plugin to work with JIRA 6?

[ashan]

Hi All,

I'm using JIRA 4.3.3 and I have installed jira-rpc plugin 4.3.3. Also I have modified the plugin. Now I want to upgrade JIRA to latest version. I tried to install jira-rpc plugin to JIRA 6.3.12. I got following error while start up.

How can I install jira-rpc plugin to JIRA 6.3? If this plugin version is not compatible, what is the compatible plugin version?

[Joe Clark]

The jira-rpc-plugin is bundled with the JIRA 6 installation - you don't need to upgrade it as JIRA will always ship with a compatible version of this plugin built-in.

[Joe Pitt]

It sounds like you tried to install the same version of the plugin. If so you need to check with the vendor/developer of the plugin to see if they have a version for 6.3 and start with that if they have one. Plugins often lag behind JIRA releases.
