Updating a Project Tab Panel plugin from JIRA 6 to 7

[Adam Steele]

I'm in the process of updating a plugin my company used in JIRA 6.3 to run against JIRA 7.7.  I was able to get the plugin to compile and install with the new version, and my panels still show as enabled on the add-on management page.  However, they do not appear to display on the project page as I would expect.

Were there any additional changes made to project tab panels in 7 to enable them?

I have four panels, and here is the snippet from the main plugin xml.

<project-tabpanel key="effectiveness-panel" name="Effectiveness Panel" i18n-name-key="effectiveness-panel.name" class="com.atlassian.jira.lighthouse.metricsPanel.MetricsPanel">
<description key="effectiveness-panel.description">Effectiveness Panel</description>
<label key="effectiveness-panel.label"/>
<order>21</order>
<resource type="velocity" name="view" location="templates/tabpanels/effectiveness-panel.vm"/>
<param name="noTitle">true</param>
</project-tabpanel>

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello @Adam Steele

As project-tabpanel is still exiting module type due to backward compatibility, modern Jira versions are introducing project centricity with new module types.

Hi @Maciej Nowakowski

Took a quick peek at that, and it sounds like just the information I was looking for.  Thank you so much. :)
