Got java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/dom/Element when start JIRA plugin in development mode

tanhm2
tanhm2 February 25, 2018

I tried to create a jira plugin with dependency to poi-ooxml. I've excluded xml-apis dependency as following:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
    <artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
    <version>${poi.version}</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>stax</groupId>
            <artifactId>stax-api</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
            <artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

 I also tried to add Import-Package to include org.w3c.dom.* package

<Import-Package>org.w3c.dom.*, com.atlassian.plugin.spring.*, org.springframework.beans.*, org.apache.commons.*;resolution:=optional</Import-Package>

I got error message in jira logging file as following. Anyone has faced or/and solved the problem, please give me a help?

If the class, which is not found, is in the  xml-apis then you have the correct behaviour. You excluded the package and that is why you have no classes from the package.

The library xml-apis is provided by JIRA, so that it should be excluded and added in Import-Package. I think the problem is how to correct the Import-Package syntax.

Finally, I've resolved the problem by changing Import-Package tag:

<Import-Package>
    org.w3c.dom;resolution:=optional,
    *;version="0";resolution:=optional
</Import-Package>

I don't know why the previous value caused the error.

Before, I got the same error even if I wrote:

<Import-Package>*;resolution:=optional</Import-Package>
