shd.open.jira-hipchat-hook

converts jira webhook requests to hipchat API calls using velocity to render the message.

usage

• update the jira.properties sample file, esp. add your hipchat API token and the id of the room you want the message to be sent to.
• deploy the app to your servlet container
• add a new webhook to your jira instance; eg. when deployed under context 'jira-hipchat-hook': http://yourserver:port/jira-hipchat-hook/convert?config=jira
• whenever jira calls the webhook the jira.properties config will be used to render a message and send it to hipchat
• multiple configs can be triggered by adding them to the webhook url: eg. http://yourserver:port/jira-hipchat-hook/convert?config=jira&config=another
• configs can be matched against issue keys with a regexp

why?

because the current hipchat plugin for jira requires modifications to the workflow; and the room is configured there, so multiple projects need separate workflows if you want to message different rooms.
