If this happens, please check your logs. The following message may appear:

2006-03-19 16:32:05,969 ERROR [atlassian.license.decoder.LicenseDecoder] String) Exception looking up public key: null

If you see this, you are most likely using GCJ/Kaffe, which sometimes has problems running Confluence. Please try using the Sun JDK.

    Is there any plan to support native gcj/classpath environments? The idea of not needing to deal with the proprietary JVM/JITC implentations is very attractive - being able to run confluence out of the box on a RH/Centos box for example would be great.

      It's not really a question of us supporting GCJ/Classpath. It's more a question of GCJ/Classpath maturing to the point where it is capable of hosting Confluence.

      Confluence is a 100% pure Java application written to the Java 1.4 API. Where there are errors in non-Sun JVMs caused by us not following the spec correctly, we'll fix it. But there's just too much potential pain involved in supporting, tracking down problems with and working around incomplete JDK implementations.
