jenkins jira plugin - issue pattern

[Alina D]

I am trying to integrate jenkins and jira by using the jenkins jira plugin.

The issue I encounter is with the issue pattern set in jenkins. I get the following warning in the jenkins logs, although the VCS commit message contains the jira issue ID:

Warning: The Jira issue pattern PRJ-[0-9]+ doesn't define a capturing group!

Has anyone run into this problem and knows a fix for it?

I have figured it out myself.

The Jira issue pattern needs to define at least a capturing group. So I should have defined the pattern as: '(PRJ-[0-9]+)'.
