Ok, I have merged a pull request [1] that resolves the issue. Here is some background information.
Buildbot is configured to test a *framework-only* deployment, contrary to what our current GitHub Actions do, i.e., they test the framework with all the plugins. Actually the configuration of Buildbot is the right one and I will create a separate thread to discuss the need to redesign of our CI/CD in GitHub in order to reverse the dependency between ofbiz-framework and ofbiz-plugins (the CI/CD workflows in ofbiz-plugins should pull the framework and run all the tests, not vice versa as it is now). On a *framework-only* deployment (such as the one tested by Buildbot), the tests were failing because SimpleMethodTest (in the main source set of framework/testtools) statically initializes MockHttpServletResponse, which at class-load time references org.springframework.http.MediaType from spring-web. spring-web was never declared as a direct dependency, it was only arriving transitively via the LDAP plugin's CAS dependency. Without any plugins, it's missing from the classpath. I am going to apply a similar fix to the release24.09 branch.
