Welcome to the Community!

The h2 errors at the top of this chunk of the log strongly suggest that your database has been damaged, but the error you are reporting is usually down to using an invalid version of Java or bringing in a library that is not compatible with your version of Java and/or other libraries.

Check the versions of Java you are using are recent and support the version of Confluence you are developing for, and what libraries you are importing.

First, look at the rest of the errors that appear around the "invalid version" error message in the log.

See the "supported platforms" guides - https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/supported-platforms-207488198.html has a version selector at the top right.

Hi there,

I am testing too, no problem running Jira plugins, but today I created a brand new Confluence plugin, no dev yet, only generated code, and it fails with same error. icu error. 

I tried using version 7.0 of confluence, same issue. I'm using java 8

java version "1.8.0_271"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_271-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.271-b09, mixed mode)

AMPS version 8.0.0.

Is Atlassian JDK broken ?

As a dirty workaround, I managed to launch Confluence by replacing every icu jar file to version 64.2. Just grep the target folder, delete icu jar files and copy the 64.2 version everywhere it was before.
