So we have upgraded Jira from 8.5.7 to 8.20.3 and also upgraded the plugin pom file to match the jira version but the problem is that once we restart Jira the restart fails because of this one plugin that we are using... there is no issue when we install the plugin when Jira is running but once we restart Jira it fails because the plugin doesn't work....
