You can use JIRAHome as well, if you must need the plugins directory.

https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/latest/com/atlassian/jira/config/util/JiraHome.html#getPluginsDirectory%28%29

You can inject JiraHome in the constructor or get it using ComponentAccessor.

JiraHome jiraHome = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(JiraHome.class);

Hi Jobin,

I need path of JIRA installation directory, as I want to display location of startup.sh and shutdown.sh file on my plugin screen. Can I do that by using ComponentAccessor? Because I have checked api of ComponentAccessor and didnt find anything for JIRA installation directory. I know hoe to get JIRA home directory, but its of no use to me.

If you can indicate what the final aim, it may help.

ClassLoaderUtils.getResource usually helps to read directories and files provided, they are with the webapp directory.

hey Renjith,

On my plugin screen i want to display location of startup.sh and shutdown.sh.
For that I need to get JIRA installation directory path

It really depends.

System.getProperty("user.dir") might help, but I am not sure if it is portable (WAR deployments).
