Error description
Starting IDz with AD Analyze Client 6.0 installed, in addition to File Manager and Fault Analyzer, even with -clean option after reboot, may show error in Application Discovery's Analysis Browser perspective saying it can't create parts, and in .log file, error messages like the following may be present: . !MESSAGE An error occurred while automatically activating bundle com.ez.gdb.core (4003). !STACK 0 org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Error starting module. . and later in the stack trace, this root exception is indicated: . Root exception: java.lang.LinkageError: loading constraint violation when resolving method "org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.getLoggerFactory()Lorg/slf4j/ ILoggerFactory;" : loader "org/eclipse/osgi/internal/loader/EquinoxClassLoader@f469f 703" of class "org/slf4j/LoggerFactory" and loader "org/eclipse/osgi/internal/loader/EquinoxClassLoader@bcca1552" of class "org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder" have different types for the method signature
Local fix
Locating and renaming the slf4j.log4j12_1.7.12.jar file provided by Application Discovery Analyze Client may resolve the error symptoms. For instance, rename the file as slf4j.log4j12_1.7.12.jar_ (note trailing underscore in renamed file's name)in order for it not to be recognized as a jar file.
Problem summary
Errors occurred while loading Analyze Client, due to incompatibility between different log4j plugins.
Problem conclusion
Code changed: Log4J 1.12 plug-in has been upgraded to log4j 2.17.1, which resolved the incompatibility.
Temporary fix
Removing components with incompatible plugins may help.
