the failed UT does not look related to this change, can any committer review this PR?

jdk25 release is next week, but not sure this change was pushed to a new release of the plugin...

looks not. I will have a look to cut release.
Even if it's still possible to override the asm dependency in your pom, I agree it's not really convenient.

@pan3793 @olamy Just to be clear, is version 3.6.1 compatible with JDK 25 or just 24? Because I get this error for a JDK 25 project-build:

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-shade-plugin:3.6.1:shade (default) on project kfz-fahrzeugsuche-service: Error creating shaded jar: Unsupported class file major version 69

If not, how would one "override the asm dependency in your pom" to work with JDK 25?

@InsertPikachuFace I'm not much familiar with this plugin, below answers are based on my understanding.

It should support JDK 25.

Apache Kyuubi resolved the issue via apache/kyuubi#7164

I retried it with and without the asm override and nothing changed.
But when I removed the minimizeJar configuration it completed immediately, even with the default asm dependencies. Weird.

the problem here is not maven-shade-plugin but minimizer library which is bundling/shading asm.
