    Description

      Reloading Puppet Server fails in Java 11 with:

      $ journalctl -xe
      ...
      Jan 08 00:29:50 k3vztg6tn4y2stv puppetserver[21913]: NameError: Could not create resources for managing Puppet's files and directories in sections [:main, :master, :ssl, :metrics]: c

      ...
      

      $ cat /var/log/puppetlabs/puppetserver/puppetserver.log
      ...
      Caused by: org.jruby.embed.InvokeFailedException: (NameError) Could not create resources for managing Puppet's files and directories in sections [:main, :master, :ssl, :metrics]: cannot link Java class com.puppetlabs.Facter (java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Native Library /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/libfacter.so.3.12.3 already loaded in another classloader)

      ...
      

      Reloading Puppet Server 6.0.2 also fails in Java 11 but with an error to call a reflection API when finding Puppet Server's version.

      Unknown if these two kinds of failures are related but since Server seems to have never reloaded properly in Java 9+. This ticket should be considered a blocker to official support of those versions.
