The Wiki page says: "Starting from this plugin version 2.0, it is using JIRA REST API to communicate instead of JIRA RPC SOAP which has been deprecated and removed since JIRA v.7.0"
So that's the SOAP interface dropped since version 2. Inside JIRA I think it's had a REST interface since around version 4. There's no suggestion that the plugin should not work against the REST interface in JIRA-6. My copy of IntelliJ is working against our JIRA-6 instance via the Tasks component without trouble - which I strongly suspect is also using the REST interface.
