Gadget containers

To display your gadget, you will need a dashboard or other OpenSocial container that supports Atlassian gadgets.

Atlassian Applications

These Atlassian applications act as containers for gadgets:

JIRA 4.0 or later - you can add a gadget to your JIRA dashboard.
Confluence 3.1 or later - you can use the Gadget macro to embed a gadget on a wiki page.

See the version matrix for more details on Atlassian application support for gadgets.

Other Applications and Websites

Gadgets that display information from Atlassian applications, such as JIRA, should be able to run on other web sites that provide OpenSocial containers, including:

Gmail.
iGoogle.
Google Apps. See blog post introducing private apps. This means that you can add gadgets to Google Apps from your behind-the-firewall Atlassian application, such as Confluence or JIRA.
OpenSocial containers such as a Ning community like The Content Wrangler.
Google OpenSocial Development Environment. This platform provides an Eclipse plugin that lets you develop either OpenSocial JavaScript (gadget) client applications or OpenSocial Java client applications using OpenSocial 0.8's REST/RPC protocols, entirely within the Eclipse development environment. See the introductory blog post.
