Jira Plugin Upgrade

[Tapas Mondal]

Dear All,

I have developed a Jira Plugin on 4.3.4 version. Now I want to upgrade my plugin on 5.x.

Could you help me someone how should I start.

One more question can I develop both the plugin in same PC.

With Regards,

Tapas

Developing it on the same machine is more a question for how you do your version control - you're going to need different files for it, but I'd simply make sure I've got "latest release version for 4.3.4" tagged/labelled/whatever and then just launch into the work for v5.x in the same place.

We don't know your development environment or how you wrote your pluging, so everything else is a bit fuzzy, but, assuming that you have tagged as above, and that you are using the Atlassian SDK, all you need to do is

1. Amend the pom.xml to point at Jira 5.x
2. Run atlas-clean to hoover out the older test installations
3. Open the plugin in an IDE and check and fix the dependencies and API stuff it tells you have changed

Thanks for your response. I am attaching my pom.xml. getting error:

"Project build error: Non-resolvable parent POM com.atlassian.jira.plugins:atlassian-jira-rpc-parent:5.0.6 for com.kovair.jira.plugins:kovair-jira-plugin:1.0.1: Failed to resolve POM for
com.atlassian.jira.plugins:atlassian-jira-rpc-parent:5.0.6 due to Missing: ---------- 1) com.atlassian.jira.plugins:atlassian-jira-rpc-parent:pom:5.0.6 ---------- 1 required artifact is
missing. for artifact: com.atlassian.jira.plugins:atlassian-jira-rpc-parent:pom:5.0.6 from the specified remote repositories: central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2, releases=true,

please help.

I'm afraid I'm a bit stuck on that one - I don't know whether that dependency should exist at all, or why it's not resolvable.

I'm really not an expert on pom.xml files, but when I've been stuck upgrading a plugin, I've used atlas-create-jira-plugin to create an empty skeleton plugin somewhere else, moved my old pom.xml out somewhere safe, and put the newly created skeleton pom.xml in place. Then built it up piece by piece by referring to the old one. That should at least narrow down where the error is coming from (but I still suspect the rpc parent it's looking for simply isn't there)
