Half of today was spent finding out why the Spartez Planning Poker for Jira plugin was broken on a recently upgraded Jira 8.5.1 system. Users are not able to join a session:
and atlassian-jira.log contains an interesting tracktrace:

When plugins break and I've no clue as to why, my general process is to copy the plugin jar locally, load the classes into a Java decompiler and hope something leaps out:

|---|
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64/bin/java -cp /tmp/poker.jar -jar /opt/jd-gui/jd-gui.jar # Note: doesn't work with Java 11 |
In this case, nothing leapt out.
So on to the tedious business of restoring a backup from a last-known-working time, which was before the 8.5.1 upgrade.
In summary, it's Java 11. The plugin isn't compatible. I file a bug with Spartez, and am told it's already known:
