JIMI: _-verb ([Jimmy|http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/jimmy]: to force open)_ ---- *Space Map* {pagetree:root=@self|sort=natural|excerpt=false|reverse=false} {div} ---- {div:style=margin-left: 5px} *TOC* {toc} {div} {float} {info:title=JIMI Is now aggregated into JEMH} As a standalone component, JIMI wasn't going to do much without a lot of work. By bringing it into JEMH, JIMI will leverage the abilities of JEMH for issue update, even if JEMH isn't actually used. {info} h3. Development Drivers I have inbound issue creation almost fixed through the (shameless self plug) [Jira Extendable Mail Handler|http://confluence.atlassian.com/x/CIIKCg] and that's fine as far as it goes, but with an IM interface in addition to _that_ there is the possibility of providing much speedier interface for doing 'stuff', finding issues, watching them. My inbox is choked with notifications, I need to know but I need my inbox. Keeping an IM window up that receives notifications is a great option, and has been done in other projects. By providing a server-side Command Line Interface (CLI) in addition to _that_ a whole host of custom commands, tweaks and reports become possible. The intention is that this plugin will provide mechanisms to perform a variety of activities quickly, for example, creating an issue by cut/pasting content into an IM window, manage watchers, potentially move issues from one component/project to another etc. It is not an attempt to provide full Jira capabilities via IM, that's possible, but heck, how much time do you think I have! h3. Current Features - XMPP (Jabber) Server compatibility verified - Users are optionally 'captcha'd (anti-bot measure) and authenticated (SSL connections to IM servers are needed for password security). Once logged in, a 'command line' becomes available, enabling unix-like operations like LS, CD, PWD. - Navigation support to show Jira projects/keys/categories - Admin support, can list out full system information, memory usage etc - Arbitrary Java execution (may be a security risk :)) through support for IM uploadable Beanshell scripts! h3. Near Future Features - Verify Server compatibility for Yahoo,Skype,Msn - Enable CRON like alerts on certain events, for instance MemoryUsage eg PermGen, at predetermined intervals. TODO figure out how to persist such information per-user - Extend support to expose viewing/downloading of issues, attachments, watchers etc - Extend admin support to enable scripted import of users from LDAP, potentially by CSV upload - Amalgamation of issue creation code from [Jira Extendable Mail Handler|http://confluence.atlassian.com/x/CIIKCg] - Extend the bot to connect to a conference room to enable an open 'query' mode with dangerous commands disabled h3. Future Features - Enable per-user custom saving of beanshell scripts to enable 'custom commands' - Infiltration of other Jira API's (eg, Dashboards/Portlets for download or link). - Amalgamation of Event notification code I saw somewhere, potentially setup a custom IM activity watch-list There is huge scope for this interface, just boils down to time. h4. Projects 'reused' in this plugin In the best traditions of Open Source, this project borrows/extends code from: - [Yet Another IM Plugin] ([BSD|http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php]), written by Bakhtiyor Khodjayev and Sanjar Akhmedov - [CONFEXT:Beanshell Macro] ([BSD|http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php]), written by Bob Swift {warning:title=There be dragons} - This is beta software, aspects are not fully implemented and may crash Jira, though I work to stop this. - Used properly/improperly, the uploading of arbitrary Java code to Jira is very dangerous (just IM System.exit(0), or 'System.exec("/bin/nastyRM -rf /"); to see what I mean! (no really, don't)), currently anyone who can authenticate could execute this code. It should be possible to disable this via the Services properties *Use only on development systems out of interest!* {warning} h2. [JIMI Installation] h2. [JIMI Configuration] h2. [JIMI Usage] h2.
