This is the place to search for new plugins to use in your JIRA, examples to learn from, and where the information about each plugin is published. This chapter describes the Marketplace and its sister sites SPAC and bitbucket. It also covers the details of upgrading a plugin, both building it and uploading it to the Marketplace The Atlassian developer documentation for the Marketplace can be found at https://developer.atlassian.com/display/MARKET/Atlassian+Marketplace.

  • Links to source code, documentation, and ...
