Replicate issue

1. Download and Install CentOS 7.1 1503 x86_64
2. under "/etc/yum.repos.d/" you should have the following .repo files by default (repos.zip)
3. install Maven and check version

   [root@localhost service]# yum -y install maven-local apache-parent maven-plugin-bundle
   
   [root@localhost service]# which mvn
   /usr/bin/mvn
   
   [root@localhost service]# ls -l /usr/bin/mvn
   -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 219 Jun  9  2014 /usr/bin/mvn
   
   [root@localhost service]# ls -l /usr/share/maven
   total 4
   drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root   58 Jun 17 17:56 bin
   drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root   35 Jun 17 17:56 boot
   drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root   25 Jun 17 17:56 conf
   drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Jun 17 17:56 lib
   
   [root@localhost ~]# /usr/bin/mvn --version
   Apache Maven 3.0.5 (Red Hat 3.0.5-16)
   Maven home: /usr/share/maven
   Java version: 1.8.0_45, vendor: Oracle Corporation
   Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.45-30.b13.el7_1.x86_64/jre
   Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: ANSI_X3.4-1968
   OS name: "linux", version: "3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"
   

4. configure Java to 1.8

   [root@localhost ~]# alternatives --config java
   
   [root@localhost ~]# java -version
   openjdk version "1.8.0_45"
   OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b13)
   OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)
   

5. open Bamboo connector port (8085)

   [root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --add-port=8085/tcp
   [root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8090/tcp
   
   [root@localhost ~]# iptables -n -L
   ACCEPT     tcp  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0            tcp dpt:8085 ctstate NEW
   

6. install wget

   [root@localhost ~]# yum -y install wget
   

7. download Bamboo and install Bamboo

   [root@localhost ~]# cd /opt
   
   # create directory to Bamboo service
   [root@localhost ~]# mkdir /opt/service
   
   # create directory to Bamboo home
   [root@localhost ~]# mkdir /opt/home
   
   [root@localhost ~]# cd /opt/service
   [root@localhost service]# wget https://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/downloads/binary/atlassian-bamboo-5.8.1.tar.gz
   
   # extract Bamboo
   [root@localhost service]# tar -zxvf atlassian-bamboo-5.8.1.tar.gz
   
   # set up Bamboo home directory
   [root@localhost service]# vi atlassian-bamboo-5.8.1/atlassian-bamboo/WEB-INF/classes/bamboo-init.properties
   bamboo.home=/opt/home/bamboo-5.8.1
   
   # start Bamboo
   [root@localhost service]# cd atlassian-bamboo-5.8.1
   [root@localhost atlassian-bamboo-5.8.1]# ./bin/start-bamboo.sh
   

8. logs from Bamboo while installation running catalina.out

   # in my example, I was not thrown with original issue raised as my Virtual Machine ran out of space before it happened.
   # however, you could be experiencing the following entry in the logs:
   
   2015-06-10 15:52:30,386 WARN [localhost-startStop-1] [MavenUtils] Failed to get Maven version, command timed out
   2015-06-10 15:52:30,390 WARN [localhost-startStop-1] [MavenUtils] Unable to get Maven version from /usr/bin/mvn
