Jenkins MultiBranchPipeline Failing with ModelInterpreter.groovy: 43: unable to resolve class javax.annotation.Nonnull

Question

I am trying to setup a multi branch pipeline between Github and Jenkins. I am working on a spring boot project and I have setup my local jdk and maven within Jenkins.

I am running the pipeline using jenkinsfile, the pipeline code is as below:

pipeline {
    agent any

    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                echo 'Building..'
            }
        }
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                echo 'Testing..'
            }
        }
        stage('Deploy') {
            steps {
                echo 'Deploying....'
            }
        }
    }
}

Jenkins is able to scan my repo successfully, however on running the pipeline I am getting below error which I am clueless about. Could you please help me in breaking this barrier I am stuck at this.

Please check the upstream issue. I worked around by downgrading Pipeline: Groovy package to v2.80 from v2.81. (However, the PR is ready in upstream so I believe v2.82 will be released soon.)

I have worked around the problem by removing the two imports and the annotations from the coded in ModelInterpreter.groovy in the jar file and replacing the jar file. That makes it work, since the annotations are optional it will probably not cause problems.
