It is the same like @withplugin in Scriptrunner. Accessing classes from plugins.

A request in Jira Service Desk. At an issue transition, a post function is triggered that creates a new issue in a Kanban project. The post function also adds the request type to the summary field of the linked issue.

Request type of the service desk issue.

The linked Kanban issue. Summary becomes „<copy of request type>: <copy of summary>“

Source Code

We get access to classes from other plugins through a classloader of the related plugin.

def serviceDeskClassLoader = ComponentAccessor.getPluginAccessor().getEnabledPlugin("com.atlassian.servicedesk").classLoader

def requestTypeService = ComponentAccessor.getOSGiComponentInstanceOfType(serviceDeskClassLoader.loadClass('com.atlassian.servicedesk.api.requesttype.RequestTypeService'))

Beneath the entire code. You will get an error while editing that a request service is not available. Ignore it. You shouldn’t see any errors at runtime.

Use it together with JSIncluder to inject JavaScript in Jira issues. JSIncluder is from the same group of developers like myGroovy. And it is free, as well.
