Confluence Upgrade (5.1.5->5.2.3) Error logged by PluginLoadersFactory during startup

Gavin Fowler

Hi

I've upgraded my confluence instance from 5.1.5 -> 5.2.3, the upgrade was sucesful, and i have a runnign instance. HOwever, reviewing the log files shows an error is reported on start-up.

2013-08-16 09:27:39,244 ERROR [main] [atlassian.confluence.plugin.PluginLoadersFactory] get Unable to load extra plugins from  specified in -Dconfluence.plugins.extra.bundled.locations. file not found or unreadable

Can anyone give insight into what the error means and where to look to implement a resolve, it seems to me the error is refencing an empty / blank object as it reads "..plugins from specified in" (NOTE missing reference between the words 'from' and 'specified')?

Many thanks!
