Structure plugin introduced generic issue hierarchy in JIRA, now let's get your plugin to benefit from it!
And if you do custom JIRA-based development, you can quickly build a solution for your customer that includes hierarchical lists of issues.
I will try to squeeze the following topics into 5 minutes:
- Overview of the Structure API
- How can your plugin take advantage of the Structure plugin, if it's also installed - and stay cool if it's not there
- Shared Structure Layer: how can your plugin benefit from the Structure, even if it's not installed - and share issue hierarchy with any other plugins
If you are interested in having issue hierarchy in your plugin - leave a comment, and let's meet up at the Atlascamp for a longer discussion.
