Adding Google Analytics Tracking Code to JIRA

Some posts ago I described how you can easily add the Google Analytics Tracking Code to your Confluence instance.

In the case of JIRA it's just as easy although it might not be intutiive: the quickest place where you can put the Google Analytics Code is in the "Announcement Banner." As of JIRA 4.1, Pasting your Analytics code there won't have any side-effect in the way the JIRA user interface appears in your browser. And yes, you will still be able to add an announcement banner text.
