The documentation is really awful as pointed out by other people.
I was not able to find in any place how to set a field in a already created issue.
The examples to set a field either implied you're transitioning an issue or creating one.
A broader question: Is atlassian really supporting this?
I'll try another implementation in the meanwhile:
Well, it seems the best alternative is to use the other library.
After weeks waiting for atlassian's answer I can consider there really is no other solution.
The question is still open. Any news? Should I forget the official Java Rest Client provided by atlassian an use https://github.coIm/rcarz/jira-client ?

Thanks Bob, I may consider it but right now I'd like a 100% Java based solution and preferably something supported by Atlassian as I already pay for Jira support

Access the official Rest Java Client site: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.jira.jira-rest-java-client
Go details and click documentation. Try to find any example of how to update/add a field in a already created issue. I couldn't.
Try Javadoc? Forget about it. It points to 0.4 version, there are many missing classes and most of it no documented.
In order to to my work I had to switch to https://github.coIm/rcarz/jira-client
I'd rather use Atlassian's library because of long term concerns but the way it's being supported is preventing me from using it.

Maybe you should tell us what documentation you are struggling with?
