Re: TomEE does not launch on Java 24

Well, this did not work for me (the project where I want to test the new=
=20
version uses ShrinkWrap resolver to download the container and I did not=
=20
manage to make it use the snapshot repository), but I found out that I=20
can configure the direct URL to the tomee artifact in the project.
But this resulted in the same error.

Or is it related to me not using the arquillian container artifact from=20
"https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/tomee/a=
rquillian-tomee-remote/10.1.1-SNAPSHOT/"?

About not being able to download files by browser: firefox console=20
reports this error:

Das Herunterladen von=20
"https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/tomee/a=
pache-tomee/10.1.1-SNAPSHOT/apache-tomee-10.1.1-20250712.035301-33-webprof=
ile.zip"=20
wurde blockiert, weil f=C3=BCr den ausl=C3=B6senden iframe das sandbox-Att=
ribut=20
gesetzt ist.

So it seems it is intended to block manual downloads?

Best regards

Wolfgang
