HELP . Java REST client suddenly stopped working at 9.30 this morning

Question

The most basic function getIssue suddenly started failing with the error message

RestClientException{statusCode=Optional.absent(), errorCollections=[]}

at around 9.30 this morning. I can curl the REST API directly no problem. I am using the basic auth with email and token as recommended, this has been working for ages.

Has something changed ? Anyone else experiencing this ?

It's a Jira cloud instance

Essentially the ones giving problems ;o) 1) I removed all the reporting plugins from all pom's 2) Then added: 1.8 to child pom's of api and core (we are on Java 8). 3) Finally added to the main pom: 1.8 1.8 Note: api/src/main/java/com/atlassian/jira/rest/client/api/domain/EntityHelper.java gave me some compilation problems - I did however just let Intellij resolve it - it was some unimplemented predicate methods. Above might not be the right of doing it - but got me past the issues ;o)

How did you know which dependencies to delete?

note - it's the core package which contains the breaking code - so might be sufficient to update the maven dependency for that package (after applying above file change)
