Re: TomEE does not launch on Java 24

Hi Wolfgang,

You could try to configure the pluginRepository / repository into your =
local Maven POM for testing the snapshots:

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>apache</id>
    <url>https://repository.apache.org/snapshots/</url>
    <releases>
      <enabled>false</enabled>
    </releases>
    <snapshots>
      <enabled>true</enabled>
    </snapshots>
  </repository>
</repositories>

You can reference the snapshot directly in your build afterwards. =
Similar can be done for <pluginRepository>.
