Hello shuihua he,

Ensure that you're running with Java 8.

This message suggests that it is manipulating (adding jars to) the system class loader, which on Java 9+ is no longer a URLClassLoader (so the trick no longer works).

[shuihua he]

so what to do?

Run with Java 8.
Java 9 an higher is only supported from Version 1.9.0.

Alternatively, if you need to stick with your Java version, you can run it like this:

java -cp gitblit.jar:“%CD%\ext\*“ com.gitblit.authority.GitblitAuthority --baseFolder data

That is for Windows, as I am guessing you are using Windows.
