The code at: jira-core/src/main/java/com/atlassian/jira/startup/JiraHomeStartupCheck.java line 202 contains:
File webappServletPath = new File(servletContext.getRealPath("/"));
According to API at http://download.oracle.com/javaee/5/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getRealPath(java.lang.String) the getRealPath("/") method will return null when used from inside a .war file.
When trying to run JIRA from a war file this error occurs:
