Description/Features
A Firefox Extension that shows JIRA filters at the bottom of the FF window.
The JIRA bar firefox plugin shows up to 3 individual filters worth of JIRA items at the bottom of the firefox browser window. Each individual item can be viewed by clicking on it, or from the right click menu various JIRA functions can be performed (start/stop progress, assign, etc...).
Installation
The XPI file is simply a jar of all the source xul/js files. You can drag and drop it into firefox and it should install it) and a brief note I wrote on how to use it. One additional thing you'll have to do is after installing and restarting, Go to Tools > JIRA bar > Prefs and set the base JIRA url to wherever your JIRA is deployed.
Usage
After installing the bar (if you haven't logged into JIRA with the browser yet, then the jirabars will NOT display.) , it can be configured from the tools -> jirabar -> preferences menu. A title can be set for each filter and the number of filters to display can be set. Also, the list of names to be shown in the assign to menu can be edited, as well as the user to assign for "assign to me". The display text can be any text, but the keywords "key", "title", "assignee", and "priority" will be replaced with data from the Jira item.
To set the filters which are displayed, browse to JIRA (it is currently the new jira which is configured) and view a set of issues in the Issue Navigator, sort them and filter them as required, then right click on the "XML" link, and set for JIRAbar 1,2 or 3. After 30 seconds or so (the current refresh is set to 15 seconds..) you should see the new filter display.
Please note that while browsing through JIRA, the JIRAbar will "reset" your current filter to itself. This makes it very difficult to navigate jira. To turn off the auto updates, right click on the JIRA bar, toggle refresh so that the titles show up underlined in red, then continue browsing JIRA. To turn auto-refresh back on, simply right-click, toggle refresh so the title is not underlined.

The effect is to cause all CSS to fail to load. Please make the Base URL *truly* the base and do not assume /jira/.... Thus, for folks who *do* have /jira/... in their URLs they would set Base to be something like https://issue.mydomain.com/jira/

I have subscribed to my filters as live bookmarks in FF2. You should be able to click the orange feed-icon that shows up in the URL window when you are viewing your filter. Then you can use the RSS Ticket AddOn (http://www.efinke.com/rssticker/) to scroll them.

But its a cool plugin. You can see all issues assigned to you and also create an issue from a right click menu on the bar.
