Windows service name is too long and impractical

 Description  « Hide
When using the JIRA windows installer and clicking "Install JIRA as a service", the windows service is created under the name "Atlassian JIRA Enterprise Edition 3.8.1".

This is very impractical, because

  • the service name is very long
  • it has spaces, which breaks shell scripts (at least makes it more difficult to write them)
  • it has a release number in the name which is certainly bad practice
  • you can't execute "net stop JIRA" anymore
  • the existing Atlassian documentation is using JIRA as the service name.

Please make it a short name without spaces, such as "JIRA". Should be also trivial to fix.

ok, the service name is not "Atlassian JIRA Enterprise Edition 3.8.1", instead it is "JIRA<some long number". The former is used as the name of the service in the Windows control panel. But it is still very impractical.
