Cause

Plugin doesn't have valid META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file, it doesn't have following section in it:

Bundle-Version: X.Y

JIRA7 is more strict about file structure and cheks it. 

Resolution

Most likely the plugin is not JIRA7 compatible, please remove the plugin and use updated version if possible. 

  1. Stop JIRA.
  2. Remove jar file from <JIRA_HOME>/plugins/installed-plugins
  3. Start JIRA.
