1. While working as a manual or automation tester we need to interact with JIRA many time, for bug reporting, for task creation etc, it take much time to do this again and again, to minimize this time, we can automate this process by interacting with JIRA using its REST API
1 1. Create a java project in eclipse
1. As a Prerequisite, we need some client libraries to access JIRA Rest API
Javax.ws.rs.jar
Jersey-bundle-1.6.jar
Jason-lib.jar
1. Create Package & Class, Add following code
package testing;
import javax.naming.AuthenticationException;

import core.ValueSettings;

// Create a string for authorization(Passing username and password)

// Url for creating an issue using REST API ----

Run this code, go to JIRA and Verify
Here we will find Task is created
