Additional context
this prevents app from starting.

[tedpoovey]

The app is running in an alpine docker image with java 21 jdk

Also, rolling back to 2.11.5 fixes it

[tedpoovey]

To be perfectly clear.
FROM alpine:latest
ENV JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/openjdk
COPY --from=eclipse-temurin:21-jdk-alpine $JAVA_HOME $JAVA_HOME

We note it works with some other distros like Amazons
