A FishEye plugin is a program that provides an extra piece of FishEye functionality. 

You can create your own plugins (see the FishEye Development Hub), then install them into your FishEye system as follows:

To add a plugin,

  1. Copy the JAR file to the /FISHEYE_INST/var/plugins/user directory. You can see the absolute path name of this directory under the plugins list.
  2. Access the 'Admin Menu' and click 'Plugins'.
  3. The 'Plugins' screen will be displayed (see screenshot below). Click the 'Check for new plugins in...' link.
  4. Your newly added plugin will now appear in the list on the 'Plugins' screen.

To enable a plugin,
  1. Click 'Plugins' on the 'Admin Menu'.
  2. The 'Plugins' screen will be displayed (see screenshot below).
  3. Locate the plugin you wish to enable, and click the 'Enable' link.
    • To view, enable or disable individual modules within a plugin, click the '+' sign at the left of the plugin's name.

To configure a plugin,
  1. Click 'Plugins' on the 'Admin Menu'.
  2. The 'Plugins' screen will be displayed (see screenshot below).
  3. Locate the plugin you wish to enable, and click the 'Configure' link. This will show the configuration page for that plugin. If the plugin does not require configuration there will not be a 'Configure' link.
  4. Read the documentation for that particular plugin to understand the process of configuring the plugin.
(info) Some plugins require further configuration after they are enabled.
