Hi, I’m writing a plug-in for Jira and have got the code installed on my machine and can see the app – now just need to be able to work with it in myEclipse. Atlassian’s instructions at this point are here:
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DEVNET/Step+3.+Generate+Project+Files+for+your+IDE
Basically what I want to do is open the project that’s in my local directory and make it show up in the list of projects on the left in myEclipse – but the “Open Project” option from the Projects drop-down is greyed out. If I try and create it as a new project, it complains that there are files already there.
I’m on version 8.5 of myEclipse.
Would be grateful for your advice.
cusdx,
Have you added jira plugin? If yes how? Also please verify that the same is added to your MyEclipse profile by looking here – Help > About MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench > Installation Details > Plugins?

Is this a MyEclipse created project? MyEclipse doesn’t support other projects? Have you tried to import the project? If it is wtp, MyEclipse would prompt you to enhance WTP project to MyEclipse project.
When you say the project is greyed out, it means that the project could be closed, can you right click on the project and click on open project? Does that help?
Joy,
> Have you added jira plugin?
It’s not a jira plugin for myEclipse, I’m following the Atlassian instructions for writing a plugin for Jira, which involves downloading Jira and getting the code working in your IDE.
> Is this a MyEclipse created project?
No – at the moment it’s just sitting at a different location on my C: drive, as downloaded from Atlassian.

No, that’s what I want to do – how do I do it?

What is wtp?

I said the “Open Project” option under the projects menu was greyed out. MyEclipse doesn’t know about the project at all yet so I can’t right click on it.
> Have you tried to import the project?
No, that’s what I want to do – how do I do it?
From MyEclipse IDE menu options click on File > Import and follow the wizard.
What is wtp?
WTP stands for web tools project. Typically this is eclipse created project. Currently MyEclipse supports upgrading wtp projects to MyEclipse projects. If your project is not wtp, then you need to create a MyEclipse equivalent project and copy and paste the resource files accordingly.
I may be OK now – couldn’t get import to work, but I physically copied the directory into my workspace and then did open project and got it in that way. Seems to be working now. I am editing in the IDE but building using the command-line scripts provided by Jira.
Thanks for your help Joy.
