Issue

Cannot use Blue Ocean’s view in Microsoft Internet Explorer 11.

Blue Ocean shows white/blank screen on Microsoft Edge.

Resolution

Upgrade SSE-Gateway plugin to version 1.21 or later.

This is due to a known bug in maven-resource-plugin which is used in the build stage of SSE-Gateway.

Explanation

The maven-resource-plugin version 3.0.x handling of symlinks is not backward compartible with earlier versions (2.7 or lower). In previous version (2.7 or lower) symlinks in resource directory are evaluated and actual files copied. In version 3.0.x the symlink is copied verbatim causing the relative path in symlink to point to a wrong location.
