By looking at one of the stack traces there, we can see a possible issue related to SSL in Confluence:

sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.
security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid cer
tification path to requested target

It seems that after inserting the memory parameters, the JIRA/Confluence certificate was not inserted (or removed) into the Java that Confluence/JIRA is using. Mostly the certificate is not inside the the application cacerts of your instance. So, to check that can you navigate to *Confluence Admin > System Information* and search for *java.home*. This will return a path similar to this in your file system: {{<$JAVA_HOME>/jre}}

In this Java Home location you'll find the *cacerts* file, which is located at {{<$JAVA_HOME>/jre/lib/security/cacerts}}

After this, we can follow the steps of this KB article: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Unable+to+Connect+to+SSL+Services+due+to+PKIX+Path+Building+Failed 

In case of this becoming critical for you, the best suggestion would be to raise a new ticket inside our Support Channel (https://support.atlassian.com) so specific engineers can proceed helping you here. 

Hope it helps ya!

Cheers,

I am also getting that same error. Any solutions to this would be greatly helpful in getting into JIRA plugin development.
