JIRA 8.x compatibility

[Former user]

Plugin appears to not be updated for the new lucene in 8.x. Module loads, but doesn't work properly when issues are indexed:

Any timeline for upgrading the plugin to be compatible with Jira 8.x?? We are upgrading and I did find another plugin – Natural Searchers for Jira – that looks like it will work for us, but since this is a paid plug-in, I was hoping to get more support and to see an upgrade soon.

Thanks,

Are there plans for an 8.x update of this plugin?

Thanks,

We’re coming up on a license renewal for a 2000-user Jira installation - and I see no reason for us to renew if the plugin is abandoned. Are you going to release a new build with fixes for Jira 8.x?

[Dominique Ledit]

Same concern about the compatibility of the plugin with Jira 8.x. We have a 500-users Jira installation. Any update?

What are we paying support for if the support appears to be non-existent?

@&(*&)#)_*#@@(*)(@*)(*@ Is there any update planned or you just stop the support for the app? We’re not paying 2k license for this

I’ve asked Atlassian to see if they can contact him, but they’ve received no response either.

I’ve started updating the source code offline to see if I can fix the issues I have with NumericStatisticMapper showing very large values instead of the values from my custom field.

I’m by no means a Java expert, so my modifications probably aren’t 100% correct. So far I have it building and working for Jira 8.2.4 with Amps 6.3.21 but I’ve not resolved my strange value issue above. If I find a solution I will post it on here.

The velocity code needs updating for more recent versions of Jira which has increased security for Velocity. This can be done without recompiling the code by opening the JAR file with 7Zip and updating the code as shown below (example for viewn-umber.vm

#set ($numberTool = $ctx.getClass().forName("com.atlassian.jira.util.velocity.NumberTool").newInstance())

to

#set ($numberTool = $ctx.get("jirautils").loadComponent("com.atlassian.jira.util.velocity.NumberTool", $ctx.getClass()))

I’m assuming this will be similar for the other VMs but I’ve not tested this yet.
