My Hip New Workflow with HipChat

I'm not a huge fan of most notifications, especially the ones that vie for my constant attention -- like badge notifications on my iPhone. However, there is a time and place for focused and timely notifications that have increased my productivity. Many people who've never used HipChat before are quick to dismiss it as a simple group chat application. However, once you use it, it becomes apparent that it's a lot more than a group chat app. One of my favorite features of HipChat is the ability to

JIRA 5 Deep Dive – Remote Integrations

  • By Ken Olofsen, Product Marketing Manager - JIRA
  • About JIRA
  • On March 12, 2012
With the release of JIRA 5, we made significant improvements to the JIRA REST API. The full featured JIRA REST API allows you to create, update, and search for issues. You can even take advantage of JIRA 5's newest features by creating remote issue links and adding custom events to the activity stream. Developers love this because it's much easier to use REST than the previous SOAP, XML-RPC, and JSON-RPC interfaces for JIRA. Plus, with all of the great resources out there – like the REST API

GreenHopper Rapid Board – A look under the hood for plugin developers

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new technologies, the previous combination of WebWork-actions, Velocity templates and PropertySet-based storage has been replaced by a slim REST service implementation, using

REST easy with JIRA 5

Now that JIRA 5 is out, let's talk about one of my favorite features of this new release, JIRA's new REST API. JIRA has supported remote APIs for many years with SOAP, XML-RPC, and JSON-RPC. However, telling developers that you support SOAP (and only SOAP) is like saying that you like writing applications with COBOL -- it's out of style. Today's cool kids gravitate towards REST. It's clean, simple, and highly portable across languages and frameworks. JIRA introduced its REST API in JIRA 4,

From FedEx to Final Cut – Building JIRA’s Minecraft Integration

It all started as a bit of a "joke" FedEx project. A few of us play Minecraft together on a multi-player server and, after some customary FedEx pizza and beer, decided that a Minecraft mod for creating and resolving JIRA issues would be a shoe-in for a crowd-pleasing FedEx winner. Given that, if taken in proportion, the size of a Minecraft world is roughly equivalent to eight times the surface of the Earth, we all agreed it's pretty easy to lose track of all the great ideas you get while playing.

JIRA 5 RubyGem

One of the key features of the upcoming JIRA 5 release is the revamped REST API. This API gives you full access to creating, reading, updating, and deleting issues as well as other metadata related to issues. REST APIs provide for an easy and lightweight way to integrate with other apps using basic HTTP and JSON libraries. However, some developers might find it more useful to work on a client library that has a tighter interface to these REST APIs. Our friends at Trineo decided to build a RubyGem
