Error starting Jira on Mac OS X Yosemite

I have been running Jira 6.1.5 on a Mac mini with OS X Mavericks and Java 7 for some time. This has been working just fine. However, recently I updated the OS to Yosemite (10.10.3) and also installed Java 8. But now Jira refuses to start up. If I execute:

sudo ./start-jira.sh

Jira appears to start as normally but then fails with:

Server startup logs are located in /Users/Michael/JIRA/logs/catalina.out Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable is defined At least one of these environment variable is needed to run this program

I have tried to execute:

export JAVA_HOME='/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8'

but this doesn't seem to make any difference. There are no logs in /Users/Michael/JIRA/logs/ at all.

Any help is appreciated :-)

I found a solution. I added:

export JAVA_HOME='/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7'

to the beginning of ~/JIRA/bin/start-jira.sh

I guess only Java 1.7 was registered. For some reason it couldn't accept -v 1.8.
