Plugin History

This plugin is a fork of George Gastaldi's original [[jira-maven-plugin|https://github.com/gastaldi/jira-maven-plugin ]].

George's original plugin used Jira's XML-RPC SOAP API which was discontinued in Jira 5.x. The plugin was forked and re-written to make use of the more modern Jira REST API before being extended to provide additional functionality.

Jira's SOAP API was fully deprecated in Jira version 7.0.
