I have taken another run at this with Java 11 ASM 7.0. I verified that I am really running asm 7.0 via the mvn dependency:tree. I am now getting the following stack trace
ERROR DefaultClassFinder Unable to read class [com.hs.iws.actions.prizm.PrizmTemplatesAction$1] java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: This feature requires ASM7 at org.objectweb.asm.ClassVisitor.visitNestHost(ClassVisitor.java:150) at org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader.accept(ClassReader.java:541) at org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader.accept(ClassReader.java:391) at org.apache.struts2.convention.DefaultClassFinder.readClassDef(DefaultClassFinder.java:462) I have traced the problem to the source in org.apache.struts2.convention.DefaultClassFinder public class InfoBuildingVisitor extends ClassVisitor { private Info info; private ClassFinder classFinder; public InfoBuildingVisitor(ClassFinder classFinder) { super(Opcodes.ASM5); // This is the issue raising the Exception this.classFinder = classFinder; } I have commented the line above causing the issue. I assume this would throw an exception in ASM using anything above 5. -----Original Message----- From: Lukasz Lenart <lukaszlen...@apache.org> Sent: Sunday, November 11, 2018 3:07 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List <user@struts.apache.org> Subject: Re: Struts 2.5.x support above Java 8 NOTICE: This email originated from outside of the organization.

We do plan support JDK 9 and JDK 11 as from Struts 2.6 (in development), maybe we will be able to port those changes into 2.5.x branch but we will see.
