Table of contents

The Atlassian User Interface (AUI) library is a set of pre-packaged resources that include components, cascading style sheets (CSS), and Javascript. You define AUI resources in your plugin project and the Atlassian container makes sure that they display correctly. You can also use the AUI without the Plugin Framework by using the AUI distribution.

The distribution is a set of files and a learning tool. It includes downloadable resources in the AUI library, documentation, and an integrated sandbox where you can rapidly prototype a UI. On this page, you do the following:

The distribution is available from a Bitbucket repository. You can use Git to clone the AUI repository or you can download the source as ZIP file. This step shows you how to use the ZIP file but if you are familiar with Git, feel free to clone the repository instead.
