Last week, I gave a presentation on upgrading the JIRA Database values plugin to JIRA 5.1 for the Atlassian Belgian User Group. For those that are interested, the slides can be viewed here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/100KHFe-oxlVmud6nhSbgdjUaXFO2Jnf7qPcDhZpPGDo/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000

I just released the new version of the JIRA Database Values Plugin. It is now compatible with JIRA 5.1 and 5.2. Most notable change is that under the hood jQuery is used now instead of Scriptaculous.
See Atlassian Marketplace for the download.
The source code has also been migrated to the excellet Bitbucket service. Sources can be found at https://bitbucket.org/wimdeblauwe/jdvp and the documentation at the embedded wiki: https://bitbucket.org/wimdeblauwe/jdvp/wiki/Home
This version would not have been possible without the people that donated on GoFundMe so a big thank you to them all!

I just had an issue where we display a tooltip on a custom component in Flex. This worked fine until we also used this component in a detached window in Adobe AIR. We never saw the tooltip in the detached window.
This is the code we used before in the custom component:
m_tooltip = ToolTipManager.createToolTip( tooltip, event.stageX + 10, event.stageY + 10 ); This is what fixed it:
m_tooltip = ToolTipManager.

I have been quite busy with upgrading the JIRA Database Values Plugin to support JIRA 5.1. I never thought I would pull it off with the inline editing stuff, but it is looking good so far. If you are interested, please consider donating on http://www.gofundme.com/1efxt4 . As soon as I reach the fund goal, I will release the new version. If you donate 50 euro or more, you can get early access to test versions.

An Adobe AIR application can restart itself, using the code found in this StackOverflow question. However, it does not seem to work always in our application. We are creating new NativeWindows to allow the user to detach a window from the main application window to support using multiple monitors. The problem seemed to be more frequent when windows were detached.
After more investigation, it seemed that not the detached windows, but the video playing the detached windows was the problem.

We just finished the process of migrating our internal JIRA server running on Windows to a new Ubuntu machine. The migration process went fairly smooth. However, the URL of JIRA has also changed and we have a lot of links in our Confluence wiki pointing to JIRA.
To update all the links manually, would be tedious and error-prone, so I used some Groovy together with the excellent Confluence Command Line Interface to make this automatic.

While Atlassian JIRA is a great tool to manage a project, it is not really convenient to handle (many) multiple simultanious projects, especially as people need to work on different projects at the same time. I recently discovered LiquidPlanner which claims to be really good at multi-project/multi-resources management. After the trial period, our company decided to go with it and is very happy with the results so far.
Since we have already much information in JIRA, we needed a way to pull this information into LiquidPlanner in an automated way.

Part 1 showed how the JIRA to LiquidPlanner synchronizer makes it really easy to sync the remaining estimates on your JIRA issues with LiquidPlanner. This part will show the Groovy code to make it all work.
Getting Started
I used Groovy 1.8.2 and HTTPBuilder 0.5.1. Editing was done in Jetbrains IntelliJ IDEA 10.5.2 which has excellent Groovy support. The project is compiled and packaged using Maven 3.0.3 with various plugins.

We use JIRA at works to track issues (duh :)). What I need to do a lot is copy the key and summary of an issue to use as a checkin comment. If you copy paste it from an issue page you end up with this:
PRJ-234
This is the summary of the issue
But what I really want is this:
PRJ-234 - This is the summary of the issue

I just entered my JIRA Database Values Plugin in the Atlassian Codegeist competition. You can view my entry here: http://codegeist.atlassian.com/entry/167349
I uploaded a video with it to make it more visual. I was quite surprised to find it so easy to do on my Ubuntu (just updated to 11.04).
Installed recordMyDesktop to do the actual screencast recording:
sudo apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop
This will install a program shortcut called 'Desktop recorder'.
