Atlassian Confluence SDK Problem starting App 404

Question

when starting a Confluence plugin I always get the following error:

I have tried several plugins and in Windows, Mac and Ubuntu. Unfortunately I always get this error when starting the current and also an older SDK. I have tried Oracle and OpenJdk, both version 8. The result is a 404 page when calling http://127.0.0.1:1990/confluence

The Tomcat log does not contain any errors...

Do you have the same problem, or do you know a solution?

Answer 1

For all who also have this problem - the solution is to use a Java 8 version older than u261 or a Confluence version bigger than 7.0.0

Answer 2

Just to help others who come to this question as well with the same issue as both of us, You need to edit the pom.xml file and update the following properties:

• project > properties > confluence.version
• project > properties > confluence.data.version

The values are the version found on the confluence server page. Finally, make sure to run atlas-clean then you can run atlas-run.
