Thank you Grzegorz for such quick reaction. Your fix works. I think that since java 8 is still used and supported by many libraries then Aries should also stay with support for Java 8. That's why I am blocking certain versions in dependabot configuration and also pax-web 9.x is blocked there https://github.com/apache/aries/blob/trunk/.github/dependabot.yaml
