Re: TomEE does not launch on Java 24

I reopened https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMEE-4474 and attached=
=20
a reproducer.

I am not sure whether it is really related to Java 24, but my sample=20
works with Java 17 and fails with 24. If my conclusion is not correct, I=
=20
can create a new one.
