Details:

When trying to view/edit a Workflow using the Workflow Designer or viewing a workflow through an issue JIRA throws exceptions:

Steps to replicate the issue:

1. Using Java 1.7, start JIRA;
2. Import this sample workflow;
3. Try to edit the workflow in the Workflow Designer;
4. Try to view the workflow from within an issue;

Actual Behavior:

Trying to view the workflow through an issue:

^{Error displayed in the logs attached: atlassian-jira.log.}

Trying to view the workflow using the Workflow Designer: (the spinner freezes indefinitely)

Upon editing the workflow using the Workflow Designer:

^{Full stack trace attached: Full-Error.txt.}

Workaround:

For JIRA versions lower than 6.0.x, please see our Exceptions using Workflow Designer / View Workflow using Java 1.7 KB for further information on applying a workaround.

Unfortunately at this stage there is no known workaround for JIRA versions 6.0.x and higher.
