Getting all JIRA Issue Details using Java

Let’s see how to fetch all details of a given JIRA issue in JAVA using the REST API library provided by Atlassian.

To know about the required Maven dependencies and how to generate the trust store file used in the code below, you can refer to How to work with Atlassian JIRA API using Java.

The full code is provided below to get few basic details of an example issue called PROJECT-359.

import com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.api.IssueRestClient;
import com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.api.JiraRestClient;
import com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.api.domain.*;
import com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.auth.BasicHttpAuthenticationHandler;
import com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.internal.async.AsynchronousJiraRestClientFactory;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URI;
import java.util.Iterator;

// Get details of a given JIRA Issue
public class Tutorial01 {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "C:/Users/PurusR/myTrustStore");

        URI jiraServerUri = URI.create("https://localhost/jira/");

        AsynchronousJiraRestClientFactory factory = new AsynchronousJiraRestClientFactory();

        JiraRestClient restClient = factory.create(jiraServerUri, new BasicHttpAuthenticationHandler("username", "password"));
        IssueRestClient issueClient = restClient.getIssueClient();

        try {
            Issue issue = issueClient.getIssue("PROJECT-359").claim();

            System.out.println("Key : " + issue.getKey());
            System.out.println("Summary : " + issue.getSummary());
            System.out.println("Description : " + issue.getDescription());
            System.out.println("Status : " + issue.getStatus().getName());
            System.out.println("Issue Type : " + issue.getIssueType().getName());
            System.out.println("Assignee : " + issue.getAssignee().getDisplayName());
            System.out.println("Reporter : " + issue.getReporter().getDisplayName());

            Iterator<BasicComponent> allComponents = issue.getComponents().iterator();
            while (allComponents.hasNext()){
                BasicComponent component = allComponents.next();
                System.out.println("Component : " + component.getName());
            }

            Iterator<String> allLabels = issue.getLabels().iterator();
            while (allLabels.hasNext()){
                String label = allLabels.next();
                System.out.println("Label : " + label);
            }

            Iterator<IssueLink> linkedIssues = issue.getIssueLinks().iterator();
            while (linkedIssues.hasNext()){
                IssueLink link = linkedIssues.next();
                System.out.println("Linked Issue : " + link.getTargetIssueKey() + " - " + link.getIssueLinkType());
            }

            Iterator<Comment> comments = issue.getComments().iterator();
            while (comments.hasNext()){
                Comment comment = comments.next();
                System.out.println("Comment : " + comment.getBody() + " by " + comment.getAuthor().getDisplayName());
            }

            Iterator<Attachment> attachments  = issue.getAttachments().iterator();
            while (attachments.hasNext()){
                Attachment attachment = attachments.next();
                System.out.println("Attachment : " + attachment.getFilename());
            }
        } finally {
            restClient.close();
        }

    }
