Modifying Contents of Bundled Plugins


(warning)  Please note that this will only work if the bundled plugin has not been upgraded/modified.

Before you begin:

  • Backup atlassian-bundled-plugins.zip file in <jira-install>/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes.

To modify its content:

  1. Unzip the atlassian-bundled-plugins.zip file.
  2. Replace customized plugin jar in place of the existing jar file. You can either build the customized jar file from its source or just extract the jar, modify the files and create it back.
  3. Zip all the jars back with the same name: atlassian-bundled-plugins.zip
  4. Restart JIRA. It should take effect now.
