3. Aaaargh! Too many versions of JIRA!

Making the same plugin work with multiple versions of JIRA: How?

02/08/12 7



Making the same plugin work with multiple versions of JIRA: How?• Stick to public APIs (if all you care about is JIRA 5+

compatibility)

02/08/12 7




compatibility)• Know the differences in implementation (5.x vs. 4.x vs.

3.x)

02/08/12 7





3.x)• Constantly check plugin compatibility with every build,

not just before release (http://checkup.atlassian.com)

not just before release (http://checkup.atlassian.com)• Code is deprecated for a reason. Stay clear!
