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 want to automate the manual process of associating a jira project with xray so that projects can leverage the features of xray.
I have explored various jira and xray api's available at https://confluence.xpand-it.com/display/public/XRAY/REST+API but could not find any API which can help in doing so.
Automating this with selenium or htmlunit is one option but it will be time consuming if there are more projects.
Is there any workaround/trick to automate this or if there's any undocumented api which can help in associating jira projects to xray plugin. Any suggestions please?
I have found a way to do this programmatically. No need of using ScriptRunner's custom REST API capabilities as documented here
Configure the headers as below,
Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded
X-Atlassian-Token:no-check
Access the below GET call with the required query parameters,
https://{YOUR_JIRA_HOME_URL}/XrayRequirementProjectsConfiguration.jspa?makeCompatible={PROJECT_KEY}
Specify the project key of the project for which you would like to enable the XRAY coverage.
We are planning to use one testcase management tool for our project.
I am using testlink in my previous project.
But my management want JIRA as all our sprint planning and bug tracking is happing over there.
Can I export Testlink testcases and reports in JIRA without using any add-ion
If no, Then what are other option I can use.
I have find Zephyr add-ion which can do similer like this. is it any other option present?
I have also found that JIRA can accept rest-api but then I need to make changes in testlink project so testlink can send JSON to JIRA
What should I follow. any suggestion will help
I worked with one QA team that created a custom 'testcase' issue type in JIRA. They removed all the standard JIRA fields that weren't required and added in custom fields for things that were not covered by standard JIRA fields (such as 'test category', 'pass/fail' checkbox, etc.).
The 'testcase' issues were used as sub-tasks for user stories. Using this approach each requirement had one or more test cases associated with it.
When they needed to report they would do an issue search for issues of type 'testcase' within a particular time period. Then they would export all fields to Excel.
In my company we're using Testlink and JIRA and has been proposed to remove Testlink migrating all the data to JIRA but depending of the usage of JIRA(amount of data it is managing) as this can overload JIRA due to you will need several custom fields, maybe customized with JavaScript and that can be worth.
We analysed the possibility to use the Zephyr plugin which is appropiated for this usage.
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 interested in implementing Phabricator to manage our software development. We are currently using Mantis 1.2.11 as our bug tracking tool.
Is there any guide or tool to integrate or import Mantis bug reports with Phabricator that I can use?
Regards
Puneet
I've taken the approach of integrating rather than migrating, mainly because we've written some custom report generators on top of Mantis which I don't see how to easily fit into Phabricator (which seems to be aimed exclusively to the needs of developers, not their managers and other teams they need to interact with).
On the Phabricator side, I configured bugtraq.url and bugtraq.logregex for linking to mantis bug ids mentioned in checkin comments.
On the Mantis side, I hacked the SourceWebSVN plugin (you can substitute SourceGitWeb or SourceHgWeb as appropriate) to link to revisions in Diffusion instead of WebSVN, and also the LinkText plugin for linking to other objects in Phabricator.
We are happy with JIRA and there is no willingness to move away from it. At present we have JIRA integrated well with Perforce. However we are considering moving to Kiln.
Losing the integration with JIRA would be a blocker.
Perforce not Proforce, right? Kiln has an API that could be used to integrate with JIRA, but I would also consider using Fisheye (from Atlassian) to interact directly with the Mercurial repositories used by Kiln. You could also use the JIRA Mercurial plugin that I wrote to interact with those repositories if you didn't want Fisheye for some reason.
This is an area that I know Atlassian are interested in finding out what people want. If you want to drop me a note about this I can forward it to their Dev Tools group.
Since Kiln uses Mercurial under the hood, you might also want to consider Atlassian's BitBucket, which is a hosted Mercurial repository.
