Java Code Listing

package com.northconcepts.datapipeline.examples.jira;

import com.northconcepts.datapipeline.core.Record;
import com.northconcepts.datapipeline.jira.client.JiraService;

public class ReadJiraComments {

    private static final String JIRA_DOMAIN = "JIRA_DOMAIN";
    private static final String JIRA_USERNAME = "USERNAME";
    private static final String JIRA_API_KEY = "API_KEY";

    private static final String JIRA_ISSUE_ID = "ISSUE_ID";
    
    public static void main(String... args) {
        JiraService service = new JiraService(JIRA_DOMAIN, JIRA_USERNAME, JIRA_API_KEY);
        
        Record record = service.getIssueComments(JIRA_ISSUE_ID);
        System.out.println(record);
    }
}

Code Walkthrough

1. JIRA_DOMAIN is your Jira domain e.g https://company.atlassian.net.
2. JIRA_USERNAME is your Jira username.
3. JIRA_API_KEY is your Jira token which you can easily create in https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens.
4. Create JiraService using above properties.
5. For given JIRA_ISSUE_ID , comments will be read.
6. JiraService.getIssueComments(String issueId) method is used to fetch all the comments for a given issue id. This method returns a record with all the comments with details.
7. Print this record containing all the comments.
