Basically, we still don't do RETRANSFORMATION.
The code in master: agentBuilder.type(pluginFinder.buildMatch()) .transform(new Transformer(pluginFinder)) .with(AgentBuilder.RedefinitionStrategy.RETRANSFORMATION) .with(new Listener()) .installOn(instrumentation); Just suggesting: If not using RETRANSFORMATION, the config should be 1. AgentBuilder.RedefinitionStrategy.REDEFINITION AgentBuilder.RedefinitionStrategy.DISABLED This code explicit disabled RETRANSFORMATION so that no log about retransforming a class loaded is acceptable. 2. AgentBuilder.RedefinitionStrategy.RETRANSFORMATION .disableClassFormatChanges() This code enable RETRANSFORMATION.we should also activate .disableClassFormatChanges() so that we can know why the RETRANSFORMATION fails in the listener#onError It is useful for plugin developer for troubleshooting.
