Please check JRA-38299. Thank you!

Conducted another round of testing on version 1.4.7 of the applet. Aside from issues already raised on JAC that have been marked as non-blockers for the moment, the applet works fine on Chrome, Firefox, IE - 8,9,10,11.

ialexeyenko's plugin is the foundational work for this issue.

To resolve this completely we need to:

• Bundle the plugin with JIRA.
• Test the plugin on all non-IE browsers to ensure there are no critical/blocker issues and fix them if necessary.
• Add IE 8-10 support. Pure javascript is preferred but we can fall back to flash to support clipboard manipulation if necessary.
• Remove the screenshot applet.

Please leave open - the plugin looks fabulous but isn't currently available for OnDemand customers. Robust attach screenshot support for OnDemand (especially on OSX, I've had fewer problems with the Java applet in Windows) would help encourage JIRA use in our organization.

Hey edalgliesh. This is already at marketplace "Attach Image for JIRA" (Atlassian Labs). About 30 downloads so far today.
Should the issue be resolved?

The applet is very popular at my company was well, simply because it saves having to save the screenshot to a temporary location. Our devs and testers use it daily. It's quite handy.

However, for most desktops the screenshot applet is the only reason we still keep Java installed. With the constant security issues of the Java runtime, we'd love to get rid of Java so we'd like to see a HTML5 version. In our environment (webdev), we can pretty much guarantee that Chrome or Firefox are used, so browser support is not an issue for us.

Joshua, your progress sounds promising. I hope you can make it work.

I'm interested to know how many people use the applet anyway, if any.

When I first started seeing bug reports for the screenshot applet, I was also skeptical about how much it was used. It turns out this is actually a really popular feature. I'm not sure why, but people love it. Anyway, when it doesn't work, support gets angry at me! Just ask clepetit!

Yep. I've made progress on a plugin that allows exactly that, complete with cropping (all done entirely client side).

A very quick search suggests that IE10 does not support paste either - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14901423/does-ie10-support-image-pasting-from-clipboard - so maybe this idea is dead in the water. OTOH, should we look to rewrite it for Webkit browsers and Firefox but fall back to the crappy Java applet when we detect a browser that does not support paste?

We can use the HTML5 clipboard API, but browser support will be limited (Webkit, Firefox, IE10 maybe).

Flash won't help either, since reading from the system clipboard anything other than plain/rich text/html is forbidden (image pasting is available only for Adobe Air apps: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/desktop/ClipboardFormats.html).
