Confluence template plugin tutorial: 404 error

Hello

I am new to the whole Atlassian SDK and started with the tutorial series. My goal is to create confluence templates for my company. The HelloWorld Plugin worked fine (as do all jira plugins) but when I started the series about Confluence Template Plugins, I never managed to connect to the confluence webpage (localhost:1990/confluence). I always get a 404 error even thought atlas-run runs without problems (this happens with all confluence plugins).

So far, I have tried:

  • Windows 10 as well as Ubuntu Mate (both x64)
  • Different Atlassian SDKs (6.3.12, 8.0.7, 8.0.16)
  • Changing the default tomcat container (from 9x to 8x and 7x), but this just gave a white screen and a 404 error in the logfile
  • Changing the HTML port
  • Changed localhost to 127.0.0.1
  • atlas-clean and then atlas-run (before each run)
  • reinstalling the SDK, recreating the projects, restarting device, …

Finally, I just downloaded the finished project from the tutorial but here again, I just got a white screen with a 404 error in the logfile (as for my project running on Tomcat8x since it was running on that container).

I would really appreciate if someone could help me with that problem. I went through all the posts I could find and none of the solution worked.

I finally found the problem. The clue was this little line:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid version number: Version number may be negative or greater than 255

It turned out that the confluence plugins only run on java 8 with version numbers bellow 255 (for whatever reason).

Experienced the same issue.

An alternative workaround (if you do not want to reinstall an older Java runtime) is to delete all instances of icu4j jars in the target directory after loading the extension the first time. It appears the version of the logger library does not properly handle a build version value greater than 255. Follows a similar workaround outlined for Bamboo instances with this issue (BAM-21018).

Wasted about 16 hours trying to get this to work fml. And since there is zero mention of this issue anywhere in the docs I’ll make it abundantly explicit here:

You need to run no later than Java SE Development Kit 8u251.

Downloads are here: Java Archive Downloads - Java SE 8u211 and later

Thanks. This helped greatly.

Yes it works
