Description/Features
This is a very simple plugin to integrate a Zimbra addressbook with Jira. It provides a new custom field which contains a lookup key (typically an email address). In display view, the key will be looked up in a Zimbra addressbook and expanded with the full data coming from the directory server
Usage
You will need a working version of Zimbra, of course. The best solution we found was creating a new user in Zimbra, and share his addressbook to whomever needs to access/manage the shared data. User credentials should be edited in the file zimbra.properties, available in the root directory of the JAR file (in a future version this will be managed directly by Jira). zimbra.properties can of course live in WEB-INF/classes (which makes it more convenient, of course).
Drop the Zimbra jars in Jira's WEB-INF/lib, together with the attached plugin jar, and restart Jira. If all goes well, you will see a new custom field that will do name lookups in Zimbra for you.
Note that communication with Zimbra will happen over http(s). If you a re using SSL with a self-signed cert, you need to make sure the server certificate is trusted in the VM store.
