JIRA starts up in unworkable stage if core plugin is not started

XMLWordPrintable

      OSGi (v2) plugins that ship by default with JIRA wait 60 seconds for JIRA to start up and load the necessary plugins that these plugins depend on.
      If JIRA takes longer than 60 seconds to start up, these plugins will start timing out and fail to load giving errors such as the below one.

      If it happens that one of the core plugins times out e.g. REST all depended plugins such as gadgets, activity stream will fail to load. Ultimately the application will start up in an obscure way and we are leaving users without any feedback about it.

      Most customer report similar problem if JIRA takes longer to start up for e.g. due to under-performing hardware or virtualistaion infrastructure.

      Unfortunately, at this stage the workaround is behaviour is to restart JIRA and allows it to reinitialise the plugin framework.

      If one of the core plugins isn't initiated correctly, we should lock up the application and notify the user about this problem by dropping warring into the log file: 

      ******************************************
JIRA startup failed, JIRA has been locked.
******************************************

      and UI message:
