Installing the Hansoft for Jira plugin

Note:  This guide explains how to integrate Hansoft with Jira Server. Atlassian is deprecating Jira Server, which means that the Jira Server integration will reach end-of-life soon. If you use Jira Cloud or Data Center, see the Jira integration guide.

The Hansoft for Jira plugin helps Jira communicate with the Hansoft Jira integration service. A Jira administrator must install the plugin to use the integration.

1. Log in to Jira as an admin.

2. Go to the Administration area.

3. Click Add-ons.

4. Search for Hansoft for Jira.

5. Click Install.

6. Click Accept & Install.

The plugin is installed. A dialog box opens when installation is complete.

7. Click Close.

Manually installing the plugin

If you have installation issues or need to install an old version, you can manually install the plugin.

1. Locate the appropriate hansoft-support-<version>-JIRA-<version>.jar file in the Jira integration installation directory (e.g., C:\Program files (x86)\Hansoft\Jira Integration).

2. Copy the .jar file to <Jira installation directory>\Application Data\Jira\plugins\installed-plugins on the Jira server.

You can also upload the plugin from the Jira administration area. Click Manage add-ons and then click Upload add-on. Select the .jar file and click Upload.
