This PR currently fails because this bytebuddy version now comes with support for the new ClassFile-API. These classes are compiled for Java 24 (Classfile Version 68) and packaged as Multi-Release-Jar. However, unfortunately the shade plugin seems to come with a too old ASM version, which doesn't support this Classfile version yet:

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-shade-plugin:3.3.0:shade (default) on project apm-agent-builds: Error creating shaded jar: Problem shading JAR /home/runner/.m2/repository/codes/rafael/asmjdkbridge/asm-jdk-bridge/0.0.2/asm-jdk-bridge-0.0.2.jar entry META-INF/versions/24/codes/rafael/asmjdkbridge/JdkClassReader.class: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported class file major version 68 -> [Help 1]

I tried upgrading the maven-shade plugin to the latest version (3.6.0), but that one was released in May 24 and also doesn't support Java 24 classes yet.

Imo it is best to wait with this version bump until the next shade plugin version is released, which hopefully should come with Java 24 support. We can revisit if we see the need for a more urgent bytebuddy upgrade and possibly tinker then with the shade configuration instead.

I agree, is there an issue already opened we could subscribe to on the shade plugin to keep an eye on it ?

[JonasKunz]

There is this kind of old bump-PR moving to ASM 9.7.1, which includes the classfile version 68 constant. However, even if that is merged it doesn't mean it is soon released. I'd just leave this PR with the "blocked" label around as reminder to ocassionally check for a new release.

[SylvainJuge]

This is now fixed with the #3967 PR that I just merged, by forcing the ASM version dependency in the shade plugin we can get it working for Java 24 bytecode.

[dependabot]

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
