It was a nice suprise to find Atlassian’s Codegeist T-shirt from my mailbox the other day. This year I was only able to code a small plugin for JIRA called NetBeans JIRA Plugin. I got the idea for this plugin as I was reading a book, Rich Client Programming, which has a great value when you are programming rich desktop apps or plugins for NetBeans platform.

The plugin uses JIRA’s Web Service API to search, view and edit issues straight from the IDE. This is especially handy when you are writing a code to a specific issue and want to check some details or log work done for the issue.
The Atlassian Codegeist is a competition where everyone can write plugins for Atlassian products, such as JIRA, Bamboo, Confluence, FishEye, Crucible etc. I use those tools daily at work and I can truly say that they really improve the daily development process signifigantly.
