Maven JIRA Plugin

The initial code and older versions were originally placed in http://code.google.com/p/jira-maven-plugins/.

This Maven plugin allows performing of JIRA common actions, like releasing a version, create a new version and generate the release notes:

NOTE: This plugin is not installed in any Maven repository, so you must build and install locally before using it.

To build the plugin:

mvn clean install

Before you start using this plugin, you must have two configurations already set on your pom.xml:

issueManagement tag

    <issueManagement>
       <system>JIRA</system>
       <url>http://www.myjira.com/jira/browse/PROJECTKEY</url>
    </issueManagement>

Note: This is extremely important, as will use this information to connect on JIRA.

entry in settings.xml with the authentication information

Put the following in the settings.xml file:

<servers>
    <server>
        <id>jira</id>
        <username>your_user</username>
        <password>your_password</password>
    </server>
</servers>

Also, make sure your JIRA has SOAP access enabled.
