The GreenHopper Rapid Board was built to fulfill our most-voted customer requests, including the notorious support for multiple JIRA projects. This and other features, like swimlanes and ranking performance improvements, led to a change in the underlying technology stack as well. Old to new Since we had access to some new technologies, the previous combination of WebWork-actions, Velocity templates and PropertySet-based storage has been replaced by a slim REST service implementation, using
