Extending Create Issue Handler to perform fixVersion and component sorting

[Greg Sienkiewicz]

We are currently using the Jira 4.x with the Advanced Email Handler (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/plugin.jmh). Specifically we are using this handler to filter incoming emails for fixVersion=, affectVersion= and component=. Unfortunately as Jira 5.x breaks the Advanced Email Handler functionality due to API changes, and as a result when we upgrade from Jira 4.x to 5.x our users will loose this functionality.

Is there a way for us to access the default Create Issue Handler code in order to implement methods to handle these three additional fields?

You can access JIRA source code via your JIRA license entry on my.atlassian.com.

Just a thought, but JEMH that is JIRA 5.x compatible, supports all fields including the above, and with the @key=value format. Perhaps that would be more cost effective than developing and supporting another plugin?
