Jira Plugin Creation Problem: Atlas Command Fails Due to Analytics

Developing a Jira plugin using the Atlassian SDK with a corporate proxy triggers Google Analytics errors. Disabling analytics before project creation results in missing POM issues. Any solutions?

In my experience, the issue really boils down to the timing and method of disabling analytics. I had a similar problem where disabling analytics too early caused dependency and POM issues. A workaround that worked for me was to generate the project with analytics on, complete the initial setup to ensure all configurations including the required POM entries were in place, and then disable analytics afterwards. This way, the project is fully initialized and you avoid the conflicts that arise from missing entries due to an early switch-off.

Based on my experience, the order in which analytics is disabled indeed makes a significant difference. I encountered a similar problem when building a plugin for a client with strict proxy settings. Rather than completely turning off analytics during project creation, I chose to allow the plugin to initialize with analytics enabled. Once the POM and all dependencies were properly loaded and confirmed, I then adjusted the configuration to disable analytics using post-creation scripts. This method ensured that no required elements were missed or misconfigured during the initial setup process.

hey, try keeping analtyics switched on until the build fully initilizes then disable em. i had a prob with my device where turning it off early messed up depedencies. works a bit bettr with the proxy settings, trust me.

In my experience, the solution was to initially allow the Atlassian SDK to complete the full setup with analytics enabled. After ensuring the project structure and Maven POM entries were correctly generated, I manually adjusted the settings to disable analytics. This approach means using a two-step configuration where the necessary dependencies and project metadata are secured first, then refined for our secure corporate environment. I found that this method minimizes errors while retaining all essential components required for a successful plugin build.

The solution that proved effective in my case involves a delayed deactivation of analytics. I initially completed the project setup with analytics active, ensuring all dependencies, POM configurations, and environment settings were properly installed. Once the project was fully established and verified, I carefully modified the configuration to disable analytics. This approach avoids prematurely removing any elements that the early project initialization might require. Although it demands an extra step after the initial build, it has consistently resulted in a more stable build process under corporate proxy settings.
