Upgrade to greenhopper 5.10.4 can't enable plugin

Question

Hi,

With Jira 5.0.6 we upgraded to 5.10.4 of the greenhopper plugin. Now the plugin can't be enabled. Seeing the following error message:

/rest/plugins/1.0/com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira-key [plugin.osgi.factory.OsgiPlugin] Detected an error (BundleException) enabling the plugin 'com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira' : Unresolved constraint in bundle com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira [95]: Unable to resolve 95.0: missing requirement [95.0] package; (&(package=org.apache.log4j)(version>=1.2.16)(!(version>=2.0.0))).  This error usually occurs when your plugin imports a package from another bundle with a specific version constraint and either the bundle providing that package doesn't meet those version constraints, or there is no bundle available that provides the specified package. For more details on how to fix this, see http://confluence.atlassian.com/x/1xy6D

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Nate

Hi,

Got this one fixed. The problem was we had and older version of log4j in our Jira instance (WAR). Once I upgraded log4j from 1.2.15 to 1.2.16+ (1.2.17 worked for us) the problem went away. I understand the standalone version ships we with the correct library however in the war variation it's in the endorsed lib directory.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

we are affected as well.

But the problem is worse. Jira does not start anymore if you restart your server after this update.

A solution that worked for me, was to replace the existing greenhopper.jar in installed-plugins with an older version (5.10.1), which I downloaded from the marketplace. Now Jira is serving again :) .
