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

    public static void main(String... args) {
        JiraService service = new JiraService(JIRA_DOMAIN, JIRA_USERNAME, JIRA_API_KEY);
        
        service.transitionIssue(JIRA_ISSUE_ID, TRANSITION_ID);
