# Jira (PDK) plugin

Jira (PDK) plugin
=================

This plugin integrates with Atlassian Jira. It supports multiple features for Jira issues, releases, and projects. Additionally, it supports collecting issue and release data for CloudBees Analytics reports and dashboards.

This plugin uses the [Jira Server platform REST API](https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/server/).
