(MAC) Jira had problems starting up: system plugins failed

[Sorin Marin]

Hello,

I'm trying to set Jira to work on localhost:8080

I get this message: 

System plugins failed to start: We haven't been able to start all the required system plugins

We couldn't start the following plugins:

• com.atlassian.jira.jira-quick-edit-plugin (com.atlassian.jira.jira-quick-edit-plugin)
• com.atlassian.jira.lookandfeel (com.atlassian.jira.lookandfeel)

Did anyone encounter the same issue? Will appreciate any help!

hi @Sorin Marin

had the exact same message and switching java from openjdk to java8 solved the problem.

see how-to here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21964709/how-to-set-or-change-the-default-java-jdk-version-on-os-x

let me know if this helped

Hi, am facing the same problem anyone can help on this please??

My only idea at this point is to check whether you're using java8 or something else. If you're using java 7, Jira will let you know but in case of openjdk, it won't.

Let me know if that helps.

Hi, I am having the same problem. What do I need to do? I have read the stackoverflow site, but still don't know what to do? Can anyone help? This is my first Jira Server installation.

thanks

For me the problem was that by default my computer had openjdk instead oracle's java 1.8.

Once I set Java 8 everything worked.
