I login to JIRA and this is the exception I see instead of the dashboard. It means the Gadget Dashboard plugin is not available. However I can see rest of the pages i.e. administration and issues.

After looking into JIRA knowledgebase I found,

Cause

The Gadget Dashboard is a bundled plugin of JIRA and must keep up always enabled. The condition in which this won’t occurs is when there is some data corruption under its respective folder ($JIRA_HOME/plugins/.osgi-plugins) as well as when a third-party plugin is disturbing the instance operation (not so usual).

Resolution

Delete the directory $JIRA_HOME/plugins/.osgi-plugins and start JIRA up in order to it re-extract the plugins.

For me this resolution worked fine and I was back in the game
