    Is it possible to download the API documentation as an archive? I am about to get on a flight that might not have Internet access, and I was hoping to fiddle with JIRA plugins while in the air. Thanks!

      Hi Maxim,

      Sorry, but our Javadocs are currently not available as a download. At some stage in the future when JIRA's build is more in line with other Atlassian products, we'll hopefully have a Maven Javadoc artifact that can be downloaded.

      Cheers,
      Andreas

    The deployment of our javadocs and our JIRA source maven artifacts are both part of the build and release process for JIRA in 4.4 which will be released August 2, 2011.   Please do not rely on any "latest" links but instead of "latest" place the version number.

    Please Enjoy

    Cheers,
