A plugin is an add-on to the core Crucible code, used to extend the Crucible functionality. Some plugins are shipped with Crucible, others are available for you to install yourself.

You can develop additional plugins (see the Crucible Developer docs ) or download existing plugins from the Atlassian Plugin Exchange, and install them into your Crucible system.

About the Universal Plugin Manager (UPM)

The Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) provides a set of functions for managing your plugins. The UPM is itself a system plugin. It allows you to perform common tasks such as:
  • Finding and installing new plugins.
  • Enabling and disabling plugins and their plugin modules.
  • Configuring plugin options.
  • Updating plugin software.
  • Checking the compatibility of your installed plugins against newer versions of the application.

The UPM lets you interact with the Atlassian Marketplace. You can use the UPM to browse available plugins for your application, and try and buy plugins without ever leaving your application.

Notes

  • Plugin Safety. Plugins are very powerful. They can change the behaviour of almost any part of the Crucible server. This makes it very important that you trust a plugin before you install it. Always be aware of where and who a plugin comes from.
