That means that the JavaMonitorFramework is not installed (or, I suppose, damaged). I will guess that the migration script did not grab everything. I'd download the 5.3.3 installer and run that.

Here are the changes that I am aware of:

It is pretty minor. Are you using Wonder? Moving to a recent Wonder version might be more of a change. All in, I'd guess 2-4 days.
