Filling in the JIRA form

Submitted by Pieter De Graef on Thu, 03/09/2009 - 16:06

In order to create a new issue, you need to log in to the JIRA issue tracker at http://jira.geomajas.org/

When creating a new issue, the first thing you will be asked, is to select the project and issue type:

  • Project: the project you wish to report an issue for. (usually Geomajas)
  • Issue Type: the type of issue you want to report. Is it a bug, task or simply a question? Please be correct in this.

Then a new form appears with new fields to fill in. The summary and description have been discussed earlier. As for the other fields:

  • Priority: how urgent is the issue? This value can always be changed by the Geomajas committers if they feel that the priority does not match the issue's impact.
  • Due date: not used
  • Components: What component do you think the issue relates to? Not necessary to fill this in.
  • Affects version: In what version of Geomajas did you encounter the issue?
  • Assignee: Assign the issue to someone you believe is best suited to fix the issue.
  • The rest is not used.
