Issue tab panel

Available:

Jira 3.0 and later.

Changed:

Jira 5.0 – added the <supports-ajax-load> configuration element.

 

Jira 5.0 – added the IssueTabPanel2 API.

 

Jira 6.0 – added the IssueTabPanel3 API.

The issue tab panel plugin module allows you to add new tab panels to the View Issue screen.

You can add a new tab with a plugin displaying information about a single issue (most likely pulled from an external source).

Here is an example descriptor:

1
2
3
4
5
<issue-tabpanel key="custom-issue-tabpanel" name="Custom Tab Panel" class="com.atlassian.plugins.tutorial.IssueTabCustom">
    <description>Show a custom panel.</description>
    <label>Custom panel</label>
    <supports-ajax-load>true</supports-ajax-load>
</issue-tabpanel>

For more information about the atlassian-plugin.xml file, see the Configuring the app descriptor page.

Here is a simple Java implementation:

public class IssueTabCustom extends AbstractIssueTabPanel3 {
    @Override
    public boolean showPanel(ShowPanelRequest showPanelRequest) {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public List<IssueAction> getActions(GetActionsRequest getActionsRequest) {
        return Lists.newArrayList(new GenericMessageAction("first"), new GenericMessageAction(
                    this.descriptor.getI18nBean().getText("com.atlassian.plugins.tutorial.custom.issue.tab.panel.example")));
    }
}

The module class specified in the class="..." attribute must implement the IssueTabPanel3 interface.

To customize look of your items, implement your own IssueAction.
