FishEye for JIRA Upgrade Guide

Upgrading the FishEye plugin

In all cases, you will need to remove the previous plugin jar first.

If you are upgrading from 1.1 or below to 1.4, there is a bug which will cause any previously configured Recent Commits portlets to not display correctly. There is a quick fix available, and the problem has been solved for the next release.

If upgrading from 1.0+ to a higher version:

Sit back and relax! All FishEye configuration data is backwards compatible and persisted to the database. If you've previously configured your FishEye plugin using the FishEye Configuration screen, all you need to do is drop the plugin jar into your WEB-INF/lib directory as per the installation instructions above.

If upgrading from a pre-1.0 version to version 1.0 or above:

Version 1.0+ will read through to the properties file you have previously configured for your JIRA instance, however for easier configuration and upgrading in the future, we recommend that you delete your existing fisheye-jira-plugin.properties file and instead configure your connection via the FishEye Configuration administration screen.

Reading through to the properties file is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the plugin.

If upgrading from a pre-1.0 version to another pre-1.0 version:

Follow the steps for Installing as above, but before starting:

  1. Take a copy of your existing settings at JIRA_HOME/WEB_INF/classes/fisheye-jira-plugin.properties
  2. Delete JIRA_HOME/WEB_INF/fisheye-jira-plugin*.*
