  3. Download the JIRA Perforce plugin zip suitable for your version of JIRA.
  4. View your Perforce licenses. If you don't already have a key, you can either:
  5. Follow the instructions on the Perforce license page on saving the Perforce plugin license file to JIRA
  6. To install the plugin:
    1. Stop JIRA
    2. Unzip the following jar files from the Perforce plugin zip into the JIRA directory <JIRA>/WEB-INF/lib:
      • atlassian-jira-perforce-plugin-<version>.jar
      • atlassian-p4package-<version>.jar
    3. Edit the perforce-jira-plugin.properties (from the Perforce Plugin zip) for your installation
    4. Copy perforce-jira-plugin.properties to the JIRA directory <JIRA>/WEB-INF/classes
    5. Copy the perforce license file into JIRA's WEB-INF/classes
    6. Edit JIRA's WEB-INF/classes/jira-application.properties, and set jira.option.ignore.url.with.key to false (see PERF-62)
    7. Start JIRA
    8. Configure permissions to allow groups and users to View Version Control information.

The JIRA Perforce plugin is initialised during JIRA start-up. The Perforce license is verified and the plugin connects to the Perforce server to query the commit changes. The change lists are indexed and stored in <JIRA_INDEX_DIR>/plugins/atlassian-perforce-changes
