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'.

A new JIRA Database Values plugin has been released, see https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/4969 for download.
The major change is compatibility with JIRA 4.3.
There are some additional minor improvements like:
Use the internal JIRA db if no connection parameters are defined in the properties file
Honor the sort order used in the SQL query when using cascading comboboxes
Fix for Z-order if the AJAX popup appears over some other elements (thanks to Edgars Fabricius for providing a patch)

For our flex application, I had a 'cc' field that could handle multiple email addresses. When adding validation, I first used the standard EmailValidator class. However, this would not work as soon as you want to add multiple email addresss, like:
foo@company.com;bar@company.com
Luckily, creating a custom validator to handle this case is quite easy:
import mx.validators.EmailValidator; import org.as3commons.lang.StringUtils; /** * This validator allows validation of multiple email addresses * that are separated by a semicolon (;) */ public class CompositeEmailValidator extends EmailValidator { public function CompositeEmailValidator() { } override protected function doValidation( value:Object ):Array { var result:Array = []; var emailsString:String = String( value ); var emails:Array = StringUtils.

I am very proud on this new release of my jira database values plugin. Not only does it have a bunch of really nice additions (which I am going to explain a bit more in detail here), but there are also a lot of people that have helped this release by providing bug reports, patches, …
1) JQL Function to search on 'secondary' attributes
I am most proud of this one, because I think it will be really useful to a lot of people.
