getEntityProperty() - how to make it work with both JIRA7 and JIRA8?

[Vadim Yanushkevich]

I see a signature change in getEntityProperty(), particularly in JIRA 7 (and in my compile time ) I have: 

com.atlassian.jira.entity.property.EntityPropertyService$PropertyResult.getEntityProperty()Lcom/atlassian/fugue/Option;

but in JIRA 8: 

com.atlassian.jira.entity.property.EntityPropertyService$PropertyResult.getEntityProperty()Lio/atlassian/fugue/Option;

this change (com/atlassian/fugue/Option -> io/atlassian/fugue/Option) leads to a runtime error, Here are error details: https://innovalog.atlassian.net/browse/JMWE-698

 So, how do I write a plugin to support both JIRAs 7 and 8?

Hey Vadim,

Sorry for redirecting you here but I think you'll have better luck over at the dedicated Developer Community. Since the topics are more focused, it's easier for other developers to watch the questions coming in and provide guidance.

If you cross-post the question and get an answer on the Developer Community, putting the answer here will help anybody else with the same question too.

Thanks!
Daniel

Follow-up - someone did note this behavior already on the Developer Community:

Looks like this went unaddressed though!
