Use the REST interface to create (and update) the issue in Jira from your other tool. You don't need any plugins to use REST, just make sure it's enabled in your general configuration in Jira.

REST was introduced in version 4.0 when gadgets arrived (actually, you could make it work in 3.later if you tried hard)

However, the option is listed under something like "Enable remote access via xml / xml-rpc". Can't remember the exact phrase for 4.x, sorry

You can use it any way you want. It's there, in the application, listening for incoming connections. Doesn't matter how you do those connections, as long as they're in a format it understands

You don't need a plugin. Jira exposes a REST interface.

If you're writing a plugin, then you probably want to read https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/JIRA+Plugin+Guideand then mark Boris's answer right.

What do you mean by accessing JIRA API ?

If you're asking for maven dependencies :

<dependency>

            <groupId>com.atlassian.jira</groupId>

            <artifactId>jira-api</artifactId>

            <version>${jira.version}</version>

            <scope>provided</scope>

        </dependency>

        

        <dependency>

            <groupId>com.atlassian.jira</groupId>

            <artifactId>jira-core</artifactId>

            <version>${jira.version}</version>

            <scope>provided</scope>

        </dependency>
