SonarQube cannot connect to JIRA 7 with REST API

Question

I am trying to connect my SonarQube installation to JIRA 7.0.2 for issue linking. I have filled the configuration fields (Files attached), but I get the error, impossible to connect to JIRA server. Both JIRA and SonarQube are on the same server.

Answer 1

The JIRA Plugin is not compatible with JIRA 7 or newer (does not support REST).

From SonarQube Wiki:

• Jira 3.x supported by 1.0, 1.1, 1.2
• Jira 4.x supported by 1.0, 1.1, 1.2
• Jira 5.x supported by 1.0, 1.1, 1.2
• Jira 6.x supported by 1.2

Download the appropriate version.
