Thanks Atlassian

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.

Nevertheless I didn’t get a prize for the Agile Wall Report plugin it feels like it is the most used plugin from my submissions. I have received many emails containing great ideas for improvements and some have even said that this plugin was the argument when choosing JIRA over another issue management software :)

Today I had some free time and I was able to do some coding on this plugin and I improved the issue card view in the report page so that more issues can be fitted to a single view. Many teams have tens of issues in one sprint so it is always nicer when you don’t have to scroll so much when going through the list.

I also changed the source for report to use user specified filter instead of version id as now user can define what column is used for vertical ordering. Download the latest version from Atlassian’s JIRA Extensions web page, here.
