The following error is thrown when installing the JIRA Fisheye Plugin:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 2012-11-13 03:28:47,215 ERROR [pool-7-thread-2 ] factory.OsgiPlugin OsgiPlugin-enableInternal - Detected an error (BundleException) enabling the plugin 'com.atlassian.jirafisheyeplugin' : Unresolved constraint in bundle com.atlassian.jirafisheyeplugin [53]: Unable to resolve 53.0: missing requirement [53.0] package; (package=com.atlassian.configurable). This error usually occurs when your plugin imports a package from another bundle with a specific version constraint and either the bundle providing that package doesn't meet those version constraints, or there is no bundle available that provides the specified package.

Cause

The JIRA integration is bundled with Fisheye and does not require a plugin on the Fisheye side. However, on the JIRA side, the JIRA Fisheye Plugin is required for Fisheye integration.

Resolution

Uninstall the JIRA Fisheye Plugin from the Fisheye plugins under Administration > System Settings > Plugin Manager.

If Fisheye cannot be started, the plugin can be manually removed:

  • Remove the jira-fisheye-plugin-*.jar from the FISHEYE_INST/var/plugins/user directory.
