I'm not able to build a plugin

[wajdhaikal]

I ran into this situation

atlas-run -v 4.4

JIRA is locked, some plugins are not enabled. how to enable them? I have JAVA JDK 1.7 running om windows 7, no firewalls or unti-viruses.

Check attached file. some answers says move to JAVA 1.6 that JIRA SDK has some issues with JAVA 1.7.

some of the errors in JIRA home log file:

2012-02-12 15:18:22,644 main ERROR [plugin.osgi.factory.OsgiPlugin] Detected an error (BundleException) enabling the plugin 'com.atlassian.activeobjects.activeobjects-plugin' : Unresolved constraint in bundle com.atlassian.activeobjects.activeobjects-plugin [23]: Unable to resolve 23.0: missing requirement [23.0] package; (&(package=javax.xml.namespace)(version>=0.0.0.1_006_JavaSE)). 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</strong<>>

Resolution to such case (for people running JAVA 1.7 JDK and JRE7):

Follow Atlassian Documentation here

https://developer.atlassian.com/display/DOCS/Installing+the+Atlassian+Plugin+SDK

, in addition to looking at below notes:

-Uninstall JRE 1.7

-Uninstall JDK 1.7

-Delete existing environment varibles (windows: delete previous environment varibles to JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME) from user and system varibles)

- Make sure you set Atlassian plugin SDK bin directory path into PATH varible in both user and system varibles (leave if found other values in the value field just separate by ';')

-Start fresh JAVA installation for 1.6

-Install JDK 1.6 or the latest updated 1.6 JDK

-Restart Computer

-Set the new JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME varibles in user and system varibles (JDK path should point the root installation directory of the JDK 1.6 JRE to bin directory ex: JAVA\jre6\bin)

See: https://developer.atlassian.com/display/DOCS/Setting+JAVA_HOME

-Now build your plugin again following Atlassian Documentaion here:

We don't support Java 1.7 yet - try running with Java 1.6.

YES, I was about to close this issue, did it now works fine :) thanks.

What if we're running a local JIRA 6 install on the same server we're trying to run the SDK from? would the JIRA 6 instance not need java 1.7 while the SDK requires 1.6?

Is there an eta for when the SDK will support 1.7?

[Joe DeWitt]

It is my understanding that Jira 6.0 will require Java 1.7. Is the recommendation that we develop plugins for Jira 6.0 on Java 1.6 and then recompile them against 1.7 when a version of the Atlassian SDK is released that supports 1.7?

Is their an ETA on when such a version of the Atlassian SDK may be available?

Hi Joe,

You don't need to re-compile your plugin against Java 1.7 unless you specifically need to take advantage of any of the new language features in 1.7 - it is fine to compile against 1.6 and execute against 1.7.

The existing version of the SDK should run against Java 1.7 without any problems.
