So what I need is basically to create a java program that runs from command line and will continue to run until I decide to stop it. The goal of this program is to read email from a particular email address and create JIRA tickets using the contents of the email.

IE: subject of email will be title. Body will be description. Etc…

I am getting confused with how to go about with the design of how to do this. I know I can use JavaMail to gain access to the emails right? Then I just have to parse the email. But other than that I am a little stuck on how I should be making the JIRA Ticket

Thanks!

    Your problem is an ideal use case for esb like mule or spring-integration. Basically these eip frameworks provide all building blocks you just need to connect.

    First you need to define mail inbound. This component will automatically connect to an mail inbox and fetch all new messages.

    Then define a transformation from e-mail message to json object. Finally POST that object using HTTP outbound. You can create ticket in JIRA using /rest/api/2/issue API method.

    whole workflow can be implemented almost without coding. Of course you can do everything manually (using javamail and httpclient), but then threading, error handling and retrying is up to you.
