Web-section plugin module

In the previous tutorial, we created a web-item to provide a link to Atlassian Answers site for users logged into JIRA. What if we have multiple links, that we want displayed under different sections. For example, we want to provide a "Help" dropdown, with two sections. Internal and External. Internal section will have a link that redirects to our company help website, while the external displays the Atlassian Answers link we created earlier.

Take a look at the screenshot below. You will see that we have a total of 3 web-items and 2 web-sections.

1. Let us start be creating a plugin skeleton with the following information.

   groupId: com.jiradev.jira.plugins

   artifactId: jiradev-web-section

   version: 1.0

2. Open the project in your IDE and open up the atlassian-plugin.xml file. We will clean up the file keeping only the i18N properties file.
   
   
3. In this tutorial, we will add 3 web-item and 2 web-section modules at once. Run the atlas-create-jira-plugin-module command and enter the following info.
