Problem starting JIRA with atlas-run

[Dimitris Xernos]

(dimitris.txt) Hi.

I am evaluating the JIRA software and I examine the capabilities to expand its functionality through the development of plugins. I have followed the instractions of the atlassian tutorial about the sdk installation and plugin development.

The problem appears when I issue the command atlas-run. At the end I receive the message that JIRA didn't start because some plugin didn't start.

Is it possible to have a look at the attached log and advise me about the possible cause of the problem ?

Thanks for your help.

Hey,

JIRA (including 5.0.3 - the lastest version at the moment of writing it) does not work with Java 7 (JDK7).

There are a few issues and you faced them while starting JIRA from SDK:

a) SAL plugin does not work on JDK7 due to a tiny change how TreeMap works in Java 7, which affect Apache Felix 3.0.2 (foundation of plugin framework)

b) JIRA Importers Plugin fails to load due to small difference wrt how bean introspection works in Java 7 vs Java 6.

All these problems should be fixed soon, though I cannot give you concrete dates.

So just use Java 1.6 for the time being and everything should work fine.

Cheers,

Wojtek

According to the log, it is using the unsupported JDK1.7

There's no attachment. Could you paste in the error message?

[Dimitris Xernos]

Attached the logs.

mmm, well that's got a lot of references to your plugins resources, which is worrying (I'd expect one or two, not 30) and it looks like you've got a broken or incompatible version of Greenhopper in there too - try fixing that first.

[Dimitris Xernos]

Any idea how I coud fix it ?

[Ramiro Pointis]

Do you have a proxy server that the jira should go through?

If that's the case I recommend this question

I had a lot of problems with the proxy of my work.

I don't think Ramiro's question is at all useful, as you're working locally and having problems with starting up.

To fix what you've got, you need to, well, fix the problem with Greenhopper. I don't know what you've done to cause it, or how you've installed it (or not), but check the versions are correct to begin with.
