_Adding Applications via JIRA

1. Make sure that the application you want to add is running. For example, if you want to add Application Links between Confluence and JIRA, then both Confluence and JIRA must be up.
2. Log in to JIRA as a system administrator.
3. Go to the 'Administration' screen.
4. Click the 'Application Links' link. The 'External Application Links' screen will appear, as shown below:
   
   
   
5. Click 'Add Instance'.
6. The 'Edit Instance Details' screen will appear, as shown below:
   
   
   
7. Enter the following information:

   Field	Description	Examples
   Application	Select the application you are adding.
   Instance name	Enter the name of the application instance. We recommend that you use a unique instance name, to ensure that synchronisation will work. When using the JIRA screens to synchronise, there is currently a limitation that the instance you are synchronising from be called jira. See APL-2.	confluence confluence extranet fisheye my-svn
   URL	Enter the address of the application instance. Please make sure that the URL agrees with the base URL configured in your application. For Subversion, the URL is {{ file:/// }} plus the path to the SVN repository. (See the note about Subversion below.)	For Confluence --- http://localhost:8080 Or --- http://myHost.com/confluence For FishEye --- http://localhost:8060 For Subversion --- file:///svn_repository Or --- file:///data/svnroot
   Login, Password	Enter the username and password of a user with system administration rights on the application instance. They are not required for Subversion.
   FishEye Admin Password	Enter the password of the FishEye administrator. This field is only required when you are adding the FishEye application.

8. Click the 'Save' button.
9. The application instance has now been added into Application Links. The new application instance will now show on the 'External Application Links' screen:
   

Subversion Links Not Currently Used outside JIRA Studio

Application Links was originally developed for JIRA Studio, which uses the Subversion linking to associate the repository with the Atlassian applications. Outside JIRA Studio, there are currently no plugins that use SVN application links.

This means that, unless you are writing a new plugin to use the Subversion linking, you will not find it useful to add Subversion to your Application Links suite. It will not provide any extra rendering of links in JIRA or Confluence. To render links of the form source:<Filename>, you will need FishEye.
