Problem

As part of the Fisheye start, the following appears in the atlassian-fisheye-YYY-MM-DD.log:

WARN  [Spring executor 4 ] org.springframework.beans.TypeConverterDelegate TypeConverterDelegate-findDefaultEditor - PropertyEditor [com.sun.beans.editors.EnumEditor] found through deprecated global PropertyEditorManager fallback - consider using a more isolated form of registration, e.g. on the BeanWrapper/BeanFactory!

After the messages above, Fisheye confirms that the Plugin system has been started with the following:

INFO  [main ] fisheye DelegatingFisheyePluginManager-onContextRefreshedEvent - Plugin system started.

Further down in the log files, the sslplugin is reported as Disabled:

Cause

The folder $FISHEYE_INST/var/plugins/user contains a *sslplugin-1.0.jar file (the exact name depends on the plugin version), which corresponds to the SSL for Confluence plugin.

This is not a valid plugin for Fisheye/Crucible.

Resolution

Resolutions are ways to fix problems in the application once and for all, generally these wouldn't be hacky solutions.

  • Stop Fisheye
  • Remove the *sslplugin-1.0.jar file from the $FISHEYE_INST/var/plugins/user folder
  • Remove the directory $FISHEYE_INST/var/osgi-cache/
  • Start Fisheye
