    Description

      The first time I attempted to import i was getting
      ImportIssueBean@101972a[<null>,<null>,<null>]
      Obviously because I had forgotten to map summary and issue type. There is a third field which I am missing too.
      Thankfully I write Java for a living so I can decipher this error message, but I can see no reason why a more meaningful message can not be provided to the user to indicate that mandatory fields are not being specified.
