Diagnosis

Environment

  • JIRA Standalone installation
  • Atlassian Connect Plugin installed (atlassian-connect-plugin-*.jar)

Cause

The Atlassian Connect Plugin is not compatible with the JIRA standalone. It is currently only compatible with JIRA Cloud at this time. By having this installed on JIRA standalone, it will cause errors during startup which result in loss of integration functionality.

Resolution

Remove the Atlassian Connect Plugin from JIRA

  1. Shutdown JIRA
  2. Navigate to: $JIRA_HOME/plugins/installed-plugins
  3. Remove the atlassian-connect-plugin-*.jar files
  4. Restart JIRA
