Hi everyone, An update about the issue:
1. It exists for a while on the source distribution (I tested the Karaf 4.4.8 source distribution, and the behavior is the same) 2. The issue surfaces another issue, which is an even more important concern to me: the main module stores jar files in the test resources, however a distributed Apache source distribution should not bundle any binary/compiled artifact (that also the case on the main branch). I created the corresponding GitHub issue ( https://github.com/apache/karaf/issues/2268) to fix both the original issue but also to remove the binary artifacts from the source distribution. I will fix that and propose a new release to vote. Thanks François for finding this :) Regards JB On Fri, Feb 6, 2026 at 5:27 PM Jean-Baptiste Onofré <[email protected]> wrote: > Actually, I have the same issue now with Java 11. > > It seems that the test is taking that latest Maven resolved version that > can cause issue. > > Let me cancel this vote to investigate and fix. > > Thanks !
