Highlights of this Release
Reduced number of dependencies to external libraries
We have revised Atlassian Connector for Eclipse dependencies to external libraries and removed some of them. Installation and update of the Connector is now much more error-proof for various Eclipse versions and distributions.
Improved JIRA 5.2 compatibility
JIRA 5.2 changed the search url and free text search stopped working in the Atlassian Connector for Eclipse. We have fixed that issue.

Is it normal that the com.atlassian.connector.eclipse.branding.ui 3.0.7 plugin has:
The last bundle requirement breaks lots of installations of the 3.0.7 connector on top of Eclipse Indigo.
Version 3.0.5 was compatible with Mylyn 3.7; are there archived builds of that version available somewhere? I really don't want to try re-building 3.0.5...

Hi,
Mylyn 3.8 changed its API and the functionality used in branding.ui is now located in mylyn.commons.workbench.
BTW. We have just released Connector v3.1. Take a look at the release notes and installation instructions.
Cheers,
Jacek

Is it possible to use the JIRA Connector API in my own developed plugins, and what required plugins do I have to add to the target platform?
Jacek Jaroczynski
Hi,
Could you elaborate a bit more what would you like to do and what kind of API do you want to use?
Cheers,
Jacek

My plugin should connect to a JIRA-Server, read, create and update issues and subtasks.

Sorry wasn't logged in for the last comment. In your source repository I've found the class JiraWebClient which I want to use to connect to a JIRA-3.13-Server.

I think the best option is to use Atlassian Connector Commons library. The project is located on bitbutcket so you can clone/fork it and go through the sources: https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/connector-commons
The jar file for the library is located here: https://maven.atlassian.com/content/repositories/atlassian-public/com/atlassian/connector/atlassian-connector-commons/ (pick up the latest version). You can simply bundle it with your project and start using.
If you want to see some examples of usage then try to look into Atlassian Connector for Intellij IDEA project located here: https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/connector-idea
Example of getting list of issues according to filter: https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/connector-idea/src/05be316ed093/atlassian-intellij-connector/src/main/java/com/atlassian/theplugin/commons/jira/IntelliJJiraServerFacade.java?at=default#cl-90
