Bug Report

I get the following error when using the latest dd-trace-java with Java 26 when compiling code. The dd-trace-java agent uses dd-javac-plugin:0.2.4 which transitively depends on jvm-driver:9.9.10, where a fix needs to be applied.

The root cause is, that the Class.forName0 signature has changed in Java 26 compared to Class.forName0 in Java 25.

With the Pull Request toolfactory/jvm-driver#75, I proposed a solution.

Expected Behavior

No exception is thrown and the dd-trace-java agent performs as it does with Java 25.

Reproduction Code

No response

Hey @arouel, thanks for the report! We were aware of some limitations of dd-javac-plugin when working under Java 26. They should all be addressed with #10839, which will be available with the next release of the agent, as the error log you reported is not the only failure happening with the new runtime.

In the meanwhile, the auto configuration of the compiler plugin can be disabled by setting DD_CIVISIBILITY_COMPILER_PLUGIN_AUTO_CONFIGURATION_ENABLED=false, which should avoid these failures.

As a side note, could you provide us with some more information regarding your setup? That way we can test on our end that the fixes properly cover your use case. Mainly it'd be useful to know build system and version, as well as testing framework and version being used.

[daniel-mohedano]

v1.60.3 was released containing the fix for Java 26, so it should be generally available 🚀 . But please let us know if you encounter any other issues.
