Jira Classes

[Priyashani Perera]

Are the classes in JIRA created wn the plugins are installing? There are set of classes in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Atlassian\JIRA\atlassian-jira\WEB-INF\classes\com\atlassian\jira\issue\views. What are these codes.. Cant we create them by ourselves? Do they create automatically whtn the plugn is installed?

The classes you mentioned are from JIRA Core. You can obviously put more classes there in the appropriate packages but that is not recommended. And no plugin will do the same.

Plugins are jar files and the classes are within the jar. The only things that normally goes out of the jar file are JSP files if you need them.

You haven't told us which classes they are. They might be from external plugins, they might be from bundled plugins, they might be part of the core. It doesn't really matter though, classes are compiled artifacts that you shouldn't mess with.

If you want different behaviour, then compiling and deploying new classes is automatic, as part of plugin or core changes.

Let the container get on with doing what it's built for.
