Jira Issue Tab Panel Tutorial

Start by installing the Atlassian SDK if you do not already have it installed.

Create the plugin by running the following command.

atlas-create-jira-plugin tabpabel

groupId: com.stygian.jira.plugins
artifactId: tabpanel
version: 1.0.0
package: com.stygian.jira.plugins.panels

A new folder called tabpanel will be created. Within the tabpanel directory, run the following command.

atlas-create-jira-plugin-module

Select option 8 for Issue tab panel
Classname: DemoIssueTabPanel
Package: com.stygian.jira.plugins.panels
Show advanced setup: N
Add another module: N

Delete the files that we will not be using/

src/main/java/com/stygian/jira/plugins/panels/MyPluginComponent
src/main/java/com/stygian/jira/plugins/panels/MyPluginComponentImpl
test/resources/atlassian-plugin.xml

Delete and unit and integration test cases you won't be using.

Delete the following lines from atlassian-plugin.xml

<component key="myPluginComponent" class="com.stygian.jira.plugins.panels.MyPluginComponentImpl" public="true">
    <interface>com.stygian.jira.plugins.panels.MyPluginComponent</interface>
</component>

Edit your DemoIssueTabPanel.java file and add the line to your import statements

import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User;

You can generate the HTML you would like to display in the tab panel in DemoIssueTabPanel.java. For this tutorial, we will just display a simple message.

Replace the code within your getActions method with the code below.

StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
stringBuilder.append("<h1>Issue tab panel content</h1>");
stringBuilder.append("You can generate your html content here to display.");
return Collections.singletonList(new GenericMessageAction(stringBuilder.toString()));

Run the plugin using atlas-debug or atlas-run to test your plugin. Below is the screen shot you should be seeing in the Issue Tab Panel.
