Developer Jira is happy and healthy again
Sorry for the long service interruption, but http://developer.atlassian.com/jira has been up and stable for the last few days, so feel free to go back about your business. We moved some services to new hardware to alleviate some of the load, ad well as changed some configuration parameters, both of which have resulted in a much […]
How to build an Atlassian plugin
Over the past year (or more) we’ve been working to transition our internal development from Maven 1 to Maven 2. As you’ll know if you’ve kept an eye on Charles’ blog, it hasn’t been an entirely smooth process. But as we get deeper into it and slowly learn the zen of Maven, we’re seeing some […]
GreenHopper 1.6 and 1.7
Since I last blogged about it GreenHopper, the agile planning tool for Jira, has seen two big news releases. GreenHopper helps integrate more tightly integrate with the various Agile methodologies out there, by giving you a card-like view of issues and allowing your to re-order and reschedule them easily. It also has a set of […]
Video: Using Mylyn with Jira
I blogged recently about the Jira+Mylyn integration with Eclipse, and now we’ve got a video demo to show you the Jira hotness in action. As I said last time: Mylyn brings Jira right inside your IDE. You can view your whole list of assigned issues in Jira. If you tell Mylyn which issue your working […]
Using Jira in Eclipse with Mylyn
Mylyn is a wonderful Eclipse plugin focused on helping you work more effectively by connecting the IDE to the issue tracker. As their web-site says, Mylyn “reduces information overload and makes multi-tasking easy… by making tasks a first class part of Eclipse, and integrating rich and offline editing for repositories such as Bugzilla, Trac, and […]
Confluence Ten Thousand!
Developers are funny: http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-10000
Atlassian Supported Plugins
By all measures, the Atlassian Plugin Libraries have been a tremendous success. We now host more than 350 different plugins, the vast majority of which are open-source and free to use. Most of these plugins have been developed and donated by generous members of our community. What may have started as small, internal projects to […]
Confluence Plugin Repository back to the future
Just a quick note to let everyone know that the Confluence Plugin Repository has finally caught up to the present and all of the new plugins that have been released recently are finally available for download. The plugin repository got itself stuck, but we’ve finally gotten it un-wedged. My apologies for the inconvenience.
Commit Acceptance Plugin 1.2 1.3
So I had intended to get this blog post written a month ago, but since I never got around to it, you get a double-shot of update goodness. I’m happy to announce the release of the Jira Commit Acceptance Plugin version 1.2 and 1.3! The Commit Acceptance Plugin is a really useful tool for an […]
Confluence 2.7 Milestone 2
With the beginning of the Confluence 2.7 development cycle, we’ve decided to trying something new: milestone releases. Every two weeks, we’re rolling up a milestone release and putting it out through our Early Access Program. We’re doing this for three reasons: It’s good discipline for us to do frequent releases. It allows us to use […]
More GreenHopper: video demo
I should have included this in my post yesterday about GreenHopper, but they have a great demo reel on their website. Click the image to watch:
New Jira Plugin: GreenHopper, for Agile Teams
One of the recurring religious debates in the agile community is paper cards vs. issue-tracking. One of our very own developers, Charles Miller, is a big fan of using paper cards for planning, although he is quick to note that the Confluence team uses cards in addition to Jira, not in favour of. And I’ll […]
Jira and VSS: we need your help
If you’ve been watching the Jira Plugin Library like a hawk, this post will come as no surprise to you. But in case you haven’t, I have an exciting announcement. We’ve just released a beta version of the JIRA-VSS plugin that provide a mapping between Jira Issues and Microsoft’s Visual SourceSafe. This has been a […]
Caching – Confluence Style
Special thanks to our guest blogger, Dan Hardiker from Adaptavist. Confluence in its naked, default form is nice, fast and responsive from the user’s perspective – but load it up with a few too many plugins and a nice looking theme, and you can soon find yourself waiting eight to ten seconds for a page […]
Jira Labels Plugin 2.0
We recently completed a major overhaul of the Jira Labels Plugin with a primary focus on stability and performance. New Atlassian Developer, Rich Wallace (p.s. we’re hiring java developers in San Francisco!) spent several days cleaning things up, and the plugin is more stable and about 1000x faster. We’ve optimized the heck out of our […]
