Hi,
i’ve written a custom report plugin, which did its job for a time. However recently the externalization for some properties in atlassian-plugin.xml does not work anymore. Here’s the xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<atlassian-plugin key="${atlassian.plugin.key}" name="${project.name}"

</plugin-info>

</report>
</atlassian-plugin>
All values for “key” and “default” do not get transformed anymore, “name” and “description” still works. The “key” values for example should be “issueTypeId”, “periodName” and “periodsprevious”. However the actual values are just the string of the property key, e.g. “my-report.issuetype.key”.
By Changing those values, the report runs on a local jira instance, but after reinstalling the plugin, the “wrong” values are still present. Are they getting cached? Shouldn’t the cache be deleted after uninstalling the plugin?
