Announcing AMPS 8.3.1

[MauricioFranzoni]

Hello everyone,

AMPS 8.3.1 is now available.
Release Date: October 5th, 2021.

This release has followed AMPS 8.3.0 release, adding a couple of small Quality of Life improvements:

• Resolving minor errors when generating REST docs
• Removing warnings about unusable property overrides

The AMPS 8.3.0 release (September 30th, 2021) has delivered a larger set of enhancements:

• Add cluster development capabilities to AMPS, with a consolidated single, cross-product setup instructions
• Bumping AMPS to latest Cargo
• Allow prepare-database to run for products other than Jira: expanding support to any other product that declares a single
• Allow AMPS to connect Refapp to external database (system properties automatically set on behalf of the user)
• Fixing / updating Maven APIs (stop using deprecated APIs)
• Bumping default Jira in AMPS
• Bump maven-dependency-plugin to 3.2.0
• Automatically add minimum JVM module options when launching product under Java 16+
• Generate *.i18n.properties files for javascript after process-resources step

Both AMPS 8.3.0 and AMPS 8.3.1 full details can be found in the release notes

Important:

AMPS 8.3.x requires Maven 3.6.3 or later.
AMPS 8.3.0 is not compatible with the Atlassian Plugin SDK version 6.x and earlier. To use AMPS 8.3.x with the Atlassian Plugin SDK, as per the above, please ensure you’re using a newer version of Maven. This can be achieved by setting the ATLAS_MVN environment variable.
To use this version of AMPS with your existing Atlassian plugin SDK, you can add the option -u 8.3.0 to the SDK command.

Kind regards,

It is probably just me and I feel a little embarrassed, but I it is quite hard for me to find version 8.3.1.

I tried the following to get the latest version:

• https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1210950/atlassian-plugin-sdk-windows/version-history and https://marketplace.atlassian.com/download/plugins/atlassian-plugin-sdk-windows
• the linked release notes
• the online docs’ https://developer.atlassian.com/server/framework/atlassian-sdk/downloads/
• call atlas-update

All I get is version 8.2.7.

Maybe the Atlassian Marketplace is no longer the place to look? Or is AMPS 8.3.1 not yet available for all?

This is a new release of AMPS, not the SDK. AMPS and the SDK are different things, released at different times, with different version numbers. The SDK uses AMPS, but you can also use AMPS without the SDK; indeed that’s how I usually use it.

I hope that clears this up.

I just followed the instructions and most of it seems to work, but I’m having issues with the commands atlas-debug and atlas-package. On these 2 commands I get the following error:

Unresolveable build extension: Plugin com.atlassian.maven.plugins:jira-maven-plugin:8.1.1 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: com.atlassian.maven.plugins:jira-maven-plugin:jar:8.3.0 was not found in https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2

atlas-mvn package on the other hand seems to work
It seems to be related to the ATLAS_MVN Environment variable, but as I’m not working with mvn often I may have missed something

Thank you for your clarification! You answer helped a lot.

Has AMPS its own homepage? Or is AMPS supposed to be downloaded via the Maven Repo only?

Whenever I search for AMPS on developer.atlassian.com I get a link to the AMPS SDK or atlassian-sdk.

@rr1

Has AMPS its own homepage?

The closest thing would be this page. But it doesn’t contain any download links, see my next answer for the reason.

@rr1

Or is AMPS supposed to be downloaded via the Maven Repo only?

Yes, because it’s a set of Maven plugins, Maven will automatically download them as necessary from Atlassian’s public Maven repository (packages.atlassian.com).

@aswan Thank you very much for this additional information!
