I am trying to implement a listener in JIRA which uses SOAP to contact a web service, (in fact it is OTRS, another issue management system). I chose to following a SimpleListener implementation (JIRA Listener Event), rather than an atlassian-event. I chose to implement it via the plug-in mechanism, rather than installing a one-off static class into JIRA's CLASSPATH. (maybe that was the wrong decision, I do not know).
Notice: I do not know much about SOAP, WSDL, nor the internals of JIRA (codehouse, osgi). I followed by and large the instructions given at: https://developer.atlassian.com/docs/getting-started/set-up-the-atlassian-plugin-sdk-and-build-a-project/create-a-helloworld-plugin-project (and subsequent instruction pages).
I have created a plugin for JIRA using the atlas-create-jira-plugin.
I generated (using the org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java class -- I think it is called Apache's Axis version 1 -- in a command-line-mode from the WSDL file: standardTicketActionsSoap.wsdl) a bunch of Java classes which I added to the plug-in, such as:

I had to manually modify two generated classes according to: How to solve SAXException: Invalid element in, to avoid a "org.xml.sax.SAXException: Invalid element " error.
I have three issues with this approach, of which the third one is the real problem:
a) the refresh with FastDev or with atlas-cli 'pi' command does not work, with the "[INFO] Waiting for commands..." symtom (as: in atlassian's answers page topic: fastdev-not-end-up-the-processing but the fix won't work for me) , I always need to shutdown the full JIRA test installation and restart it. This may be due to some false plug-in configuration and, though a pain in the neck, I can live with that for the time being.
b) a command-line build via Maven (atlas-run or atlas-build) does not report any error, while compiling the project with Eclipse will fail with:
Project build error: Unresolveable build extension: Plugin com.atlassian.maven.plugins:maven-jira-plugin:5.0.13 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failure to find com.atlassian.maven.plugins:maven-jira-plugin:jar:5.0.13 in http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced
c) when the listener is executed I get a nasty: java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation: when resolving field "service" the class loader (instance of org/apache/felix/framework/ModuleImpl$ModuleClassLoader) of the referring class, org/apache/axis/client/Stub, and the class loader (instance of org/apache/catalina/loader/WebappClassLoader) for the field's resolved type, org/apache/catalina/loader/WebappClassLoader, have different Class objects for that type at org.otrs.www.TicketConnector.GenericTicketConnector_BindingStub.(GenericTicketConnector_BindingStub.java:98) This is the real show-stopper.
Could this be a simple Maven configuration issue? thanks,
