I would like to configure my Jira board to display assignee icon in Plan view but I couldn't find any options in Jira board settings. Does it require separate plugin?.
This feature was added in JIRA Agile 6.5. My guess would be that you are running an earlier version of the plug-in.
Release notes; https://confluence.atlassian.com/agile/jira-agile-releases/jira-agile-release-notes/jira-agile-6-5-release-notes
If you have an active support subscription, you should be able to update JIRA Agile through Administration > Add-ons.

We have just started using Team Foundation Server (version 15). I thought I could use Epics to organize features and other work elements but when I create an Epic I don't see where it is and can't see how to associate a Feature to it. Am I misunderstanding the use of Epics? I have been given a single project called Workflow under which I need to manage multiple clients. Epics seems a good container for a client level object.
Thank you!
From your team's backlog page, click the gear icon (gear icon) to open the common configuration team settings.
Click the Backlogs tab and check the boxes of those backlog levels you want your team to manage.

I installed JIRA 6.4. I also Crerated Project and Issue in it. I assigned Issue to some user. Now If Administrator wants to monitor isssue status, he can see progress. But how does the asignee i.e the person working on issue update issue status. Actually I am very new to JIRA. Or is there any other plugin for it
Depending on the workflow you have configured for the project, the assignee should see action buttons on the issue that they can click to progress status; e.g. "Resolve Issue" or "Close Issue". These are known as "Transitions" in the workflow and configure how issues can move between certain states.
If you're also using the JIRA Agile add-on, you can create a "Rapid Board" that allows assignees to drag and drop issues between states to create a "Work in Progress" board.
This is just a starter, it's best to run through the tutorials from Atlassian, they will take into account the various project setups that may apply to you.
Also, if you're just getting up and running with JIRA, it may be advisable to upgrade to JIRA Core 7 (or JIRA Software if you require the extra features) as it has project templates/workflows that will make getting up and running a lot quicker.
Is it possible to create a Custom Report like Sprint or Epic report under Reports TAB in JIRA Agile?
If yes then how can I achieve the same? Is there any tutorial for it?
I am using JIRA 6.1.7 version with JIRA Agile plugin.
You have several options:
jiraReports, a cloud-based tool (supports Jira Agile)
free-form reporting plugins like eazyBI or Intelligent Reports (both support Jira Agile)
plugins for specific reports (search the Marketplace)
for complete customization, you can create a plugin using HTML and Java (report-specific plugin tutorial)
I am trying to come up with a custom plugin for JIRA. The custom plugin supports git notes feature in JIRA dashboard.
My question is, does commercial JIRA support a custom JIRA plugin?
And are any tutorials/best practices for developing custom JIRA plugin?
does commercial jira support custom jira plugin?
Yes. You can write your plugin and upload it in the "Manage Add-ons" section of your admin area.
are any tutorials/best practices for developing custom jira plugin?
Yes. Take a look at the JIRA Plugin Guide (the link is broken at the moment of this edit, this link appears to replace the broken one).
You may also investigate Atlassian Marketplace in order to search any specific plugin that develop by other companies.
Since various plugins had already been developed, those are being leaded to you during development of the plugin.
I'm using Jira and have been told by the sysadmin that GreenHopper has been installed.
However, I see no evidence that GreenHopper has been installed.
Is there a simple way to determine whether or not GreenHopper has been installed?
Once greenhopper is installed, it needs to be enabled for the project. In the greenhopper administration section you can choose to enable it for all projects or only selected ones.
I believe the default setting has it only for selected projects, with none selected.
Edit: you can find that setting in the administration section under Greenhopper -> Enabled Projects.
The video on GreenHopper illustrates some of the feature that you should be able to see.
In particular, you should be able to access the Planning Board on your project, meaning there should be an 'Agile' link's down-arrow in the top navigation bar and a 'Planning Board' from the resulting dropdown menu.
If you are a JIRA Admin, simply go to the Adminstration > JIRA Administration > System > Plugin, the look at the "Installed plugin" section whether you have "GreenHopper".
I you are not a JIRA Admin, and you are running the latest version of JIRA and GreenHopper, you will see the "Agile" tab besides the "Dashboard", "Projects", "Issues".
