Error while compiling the JIRA 4.4.3 source code

[Michael Saupe]

Using the instructions (https://developer.atlassian.com/display/DOCS/Using+the+Atlassian+Plugin+SDK+with+a+Source+Code+License) I tried to compile JIRA 4.4.3.

Every time I started the process using "atlas-mvn source:jar install -Dmaven.test.skip -DskipTests" I get the following error message:

[INFO]

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.
  Then, install it using the command:

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:
      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.boilerbay.infinitydb

I already found the following bug https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-25319.
I tried out the recommended workaround and updated the root pom.xml file in that way "<!-- <module>stp</module> -->", but then I get the following error message:
"[INFO] An Ant BuildException has occured: taskdef class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.PropertyFile cannot be found"
Is there any solution to get the JIRA 4.4.3 source code compiled?

This has been fixed in 4.4.4 (we include a new version of the support tools plugin that does not have this dependency). We have also fixed the build that checks for this class of problem, so hopefully it will not be an issue going forward.

As Wojciech said you can comment out the stp plugin in the bundled plugin pom.xml and you should be able to compile correctly.

Robert : where can we get a copy of the 4.4.4? It's currently not available for download from myaltassian.com.

hi Wolf,

I'm working on getting 4.4.4 out the door as I type this. Its currently being "soaked" on an internal instance. If all goes well we'll be looking to roll out mid next week.

I'm experiencing a similar Ant BuildException on 4.4.4 - can anyone help?

I tried compiling JIRA 4.4.3 from the source bundle myself in the clean environment and got exactly the same results. I suspect that it incorectly requires infinitydb jar due to transitive dependencies on a bundled plugin - JIRA FishEye plugin.

IIRC infinitydb licensing policy does not allow to publish this jar on a public maven repo and that's why you cannot fetch it (it's not available on Atlassian public maven repo).

That looks like a unintentionally introduced problem.

You could either remove dependency on stp jar (that's JIRA Support tools you can live without I bet) in jira-components/jira-plugins/jira-bundled-plugins/pom.xml or hack downloaded fisheye-dependencies.pom to remove dependency there on infinitiydb.

I'll ask the person responsible for JIRA distro to take a look at this problem.

[Michael Saupe]

Thanks for your feedback!

remove dependency on stp jar (that's JIRA Support tools you can live without I bet) in jira-components/jira-plugins/jira-bundled-plugins/pom.xml

I can't find a folder named "jira-components" in the JIRA source code folder I extracted from the zip file...

[Wojciech Seliga]

Sorry, my fault - I referred to a little bit different layout of the source dir.

Try in jira-project/jira-components/jira-plugins/jira-bundled-plugins/pom.xml

Also you may need to comment out <module>stop</module> in pom.xml in the root directory.

[Michael Saupe]

I updated the pom.xml in the root directory (atlassian-jira-4.4.3-source\pom.xml) as follows:

<!-- <module>stp</module> -->

Now I get the following error while compiling:

[INFO] Executing tasks
    [touch] Creating D:\_atlassian_svn\atlassian-jira-4.4.3-source\jira-bamboo-p
lugin\target\test-classes\localtest.properties

[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] An Ant BuildException has occured: taskdef class org.apache.tools.ant.tas

I thought it would be easier to compile JIRA's source code... :-(

JSR-25319 wasn't clear as to which pom.xml file required the modification. I added the exclusion to stp/pom.xml (4.4.1 and 4.4.3) and the problem vanished in both cases. However, I ran into another roadblock. See https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/22335/jira-4-4-1-build-fails-with-out-of-space-in-codecache-for-adapters. I'm not sure this is related to the modification made (I kind'a doubt it) but I thought I'd float it out there.
