I’m not sure itextpdf is provided by Jira.

Could you delete <scope>provided</scope> and try again?

Hi @sven.schatter Thanks for quick reply.
i have removed <scope>provided</scope> and re-run my plugin but still its gone disabled mode.

Did you also rebuild your app before trying again?

Just to clarify, to me it looks like the problem is that by specifying <scope>provided</scope> you tell Jira to provide your app with the itextpdf dependency at runtime. But Jira doesn’t know itextpdf so it fails. If you now remove the line maven will bundle the dependency in your JAR and it should work.

So, just to be sure, after you have removed <scope>provided</scope> you should:

  • Uninstall your app.
  • Run atlas-mvn clean or manually delete your target directory.
  • Rebuild your app and reupload it to Jira.

If it then still doesn’t work there might be other errors as well and you should check the atlassian-jira.log file to see what is going on.
