<script>
AJS.toInit(function(){
AJS.$('.aui-header-primary .aui-nav').append('<li><a href="http://www.atlassian.com" class=" aui-nav-imagelink">Atlassian</a></li><li><a href="http://www.google.com" class=" aui-nav-imagelink">Link2</a></li><li><a href="http://www.google.com" class=" aui-nav-imagelink">Link3</a></li>');
});
</script>The example above will add two new links "Link2" and "Link3" to the navigation that both link to www.google.com
To add third-party plugin link:
Install the plugin.
