Symptoms

Installed Bamboo and cannot start up instance to run the setup wizard. This can be seen in the logs:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'xworkConfigurationInitialiser' defined in class path resource [applicationContextBootstrap.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is [unknown location]
Caused by: [unknown location]
   at com.opensymphony.xwork.config.providers.XmlConfigurationProvider.loadConfigurationFile(XmlConfigurationProvider.java:673)
   at com.opensymphony.xwork.config.providers.XmlConfigurationProvider.init(XmlConfigurationProvider.java:91)
   at com.opensymphony.xwork.config.impl.DefaultConfiguration.reload(DefaultConfiguration.java:159)
   at com.atlassian.bamboo.setup.XWorkConfigurationInitialiser.init(XWorkConfigurationInitialiser.java:17)
   at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(libgcj.so.90)

Cause

Wrong JDK installed. Bamboo only runs reliably on an Oracle JDK. It is not enough to have the JRE only.

Resolution

Please ensure that you have the full Oracle JDK installed. More information can be found in the Supported Platforms document.
