Getting ClassNotFoundException: org.slf4j.LoggerFactory when activating ictime

[Simon Erhardt]

Hello,

activation of ictime 2.2.0 in JIRA 5.0.2 fails with the following stacktrace, although slf4j-api-1.5.8.jar and slf4j-log4j12-1.5.8.jar are in the JIRA_HOME\lib directory. Any ideas?

Hi Simon,

Just to answer this one for the public, as others might have the same problem (we already solved that via email):

It is a known issue that sometimes plugins (especially the more complex ones) do not activate properly. You might find an exception in your logs, but frequently this does not make much sense (like in your case, you get a class not found error, but slf4j-api-1.5.8.jar and slf4j-log4j12-1.5.8.jar are in the correct directory). There are usually two things you should try:

1. Update to the most recent version of JIRA and the JIRA Universal Plugin Manager (UPM). The UPM has been a source of many issues in the past, and many times an update solves your problems.

2. It also has been reported that sometimes simply trying to deactivate/activate the plugin a couple of times helps.

Best regards

Tobias

Thank you! And yes updating the UPM has likewise helped in several cases with my Confluence plugins. I did not think to enable,disable though. Hopefully these issues are finally stabalizing.

[Simon Erhardt]

Thank you - updating JIRA to the latest version did the job.
