It’s Autumn. The leaves are changing, the air is brisk, and that means only one thing: Time for a bunch of nerds to get together, drink some beers, and solve the world’s most important dilemmas (like where’s the next place to get free beer). That’s right, I’m speaking of AtlasCamp! And this year it’s already [...]

Essentially, you extract a zip of the app, edit a [app-name]-init.properties file and include a path where you’d like the app’s [...]

With the latest versions of the Atlassian products, you can now add your own rest component plugins.

It’s one of those gateway plugins that opens up a whole new category of customizations. The full announcement can be viewed on the Atlassian Blog Share and Enjoy:

I finally got around to getting sieve working with dovecot which was pretty easy. Next, I wanted to be able to manage the sieve rules via the Horde-Ingo webmail interface. This seemed like it should be an easy and common thing to do, however, it ended up taking a couple of days to sift through [...]

A new version of the Bamboo command runner plugin is available: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMEXT/Pre-Post+Build+Command+Plugin The bamboo 1.2.4 version was updated so PRE-build commands can now be specified. A new 2.0 version was created as well. Share and Enjoy:

Overview We use Atlassian Bamboo as our continuous build server and for a while I’ve wanted to kick off arbitrary command line commands after a build is completed. Apparently some other developers have been asking for this as well: BAM-679. In response, I’ve written this plugin that can run an arbitrary command when a build [...]
