[feature] Sprints & Epics

[Artimunor]

It would be really helpful if Sprints can also be imported from Jira.
Right now they seem not to be in the datamodel, or am I overlooking something?

I can see Epics, as a type of Issue, however links to Epics seem not to exist in IssueLinks, e.g. not being imported.
Any idea why? Can it be Jira settings? Or is it not yet supported?

I am writing Cypher Queries that shows IssueLinks of one team with other teams from the perspective of one team.
This displays the external impact and dependencies your team has with other teams.
I think this can be super handy in a multi team environment.
Right now it displays correctly in relation to a Version, but since the teams do their planning based on Sprints and delivery is in the context of Epics (Versions are just when a chunk happens to go live) it would be really helpful to have these features added.

Thank you for your interest in the Jira plugin!

Currently, I am working on a C# plugin for jQAssistant so I don't have time to upgrade the Jira plugin. Nevertheless, let me invest some time to extend the current CONTRIBUTING.md to get you up and running to develop it yourself.

I will inform you when the "Getting Started" is ready :)

I added a 'Getting Started' to the https://github.com/softvis-research/jqa-jira-plugin/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md.
Please let me know if you have open questions so I can change the tutorial.

Happy coding! :)
