Symptoms
The following error is logged in Fisheye logs:
WARN - Could not load svn-javahl
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/tigris/subversion/javahl/SVNClientInterface
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:620)
.....
Cause
The JavaHL-SVNClientInterface JAR dependency is missing.
Resolution
To fix the issue, add the missing dependency to Fisheye's classpath:
Please download the standalone version of SVNKit.
Unzip the downloaded SVNKit and copy all the
.jarfiles intoFISHEYE_INST/libdirectory.
Ensure that you have downloaded the correct version of SVNKit JAR
