The Issue Operations Plugin Module is very easy to use, because for simple links you don't even need to write any code. Here is how to create a sample 'Canned Response' link on issues, which populates the comment field with a canned response via Javascript:

The deploy process is just a script that finds, downloads and unzips the Jira standalone distribution. We use this internally so it isn't readily available to our users.

The Issue Operations plugin shows up in the Issue Details screen.
It tries to change the value of the Comment field.
However, the Comment field doesn't show up until you Edit the issue.

If you view the source of the page, there is a hidden AddComment form. This form appears when you click the Comment link in the left hand nav.
