Class Not Found FieldCompareValidator

Nathan Clement
Nathan Clement August 20, 2014

I just upgraded Jira from 6.2.5 to 6.3.4 and now I get the following exception when performing a workflow action which uses one of the JSU validators. I have version 1.4.9 installed, which supports Jira 6.3.4. Any ideas why I would be getting this error?
