To delete/clear the JIRA plugin cache if you get random plugin behaviour:

  1. Shut down Jira instance
  2. Delete the following hidden plugin cache directories:
    • %JIRA_HOME%/plugins/.bundled-plugins
    • %JIRA_HOME%/plugins/.osgi-plugins 
  3. Restart Jira (these two directories will be recreated on Jira reboot with new plugin cache)
