Elasticsearch 5.2 maven zip does not start

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

We have previously used elasticsearch 2.4 as an maven dependency, deploying it at nexus etc.

But, when upgrading to 5.2, we get "org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.StartupException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unsupported transport.type []"
If I just download the zip-file from elasticsearch website, it works as it should.

So why is there a difference between the maven repo version and the downloadable version on ES website?

org.elasticsearch.distribution.zip elasticsearch ${elasticsearch.version} zip
2

How do you start it?

With bin/elasticsearch ?

Yep, unzipped the zip file, and tried ./bin/elasticsearch

That's strange. I need to check but I'm doing something similar as you do here:

And this is working for me.

Can you share a bit more details on what you are doing? I mean a pom file or anything like this.

I found what was wrong.. When unpacking, I did not unpack /modules.

So now you "just" need to solve the bootstrap checks. I think we can mark this one as solved...
