I downloaded the latest stable release (2.7.1.1) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/geoserver/files/GeoServer/. It starts with the integrated jetty and works fine so far.
So I wanted to configure netCDF output for WCS Layers and downloaded the netCDF plugins from here: http://ares.opengeo.org/geoserver/2.7.x/community-latest/
However starting the server after installing them to geoserver/libs results in:
