Installing JIRA WAR

What is the JIRA WAR distribution?

JIRA is available in two types of 'distributions':

  • 'Recommended' distributions (which include JIRA installations installed using the 'Windows Installer', 'Linux Installer' or from an 'Archive File')
    AND
  • The 'WAR' distribution for advanced or highly configured JIRA installations.
