JDK 25 Support?

[grcevski]

Describe the bug

Running the javaagent with SpringBoot 3 application on JDK 25 causes an error on start. I'm wondering if this is a known issue, looks like ByteBuddy related, or am I doing something wrong?

Here's the output I get when I try loading the agent:

/jdk-25/bin/java -javaagent:./opentelemetry-javaagent.jar -jar target/greeting-service-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

/jdk-25/bin/java -version
openjdk version "25-ea" 2025-09-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 25-ea+11-1205)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25-ea+11-1205, mixed mode, sharing)

Steps to reproduce

1. Build any simple SpringBoot 3.x application, e.g. using the SpringBoot starter.
2. Run OpenJDK 25 with the java instrumentation by loading the agent on the command line:
   /jdk-25/bin/java -javaagent:./opentelemetry-javaagent.jar -jar target/my-service-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Expected behavior

The SpringBoot application should start and it should be instrumented.

Actual behavior

The SpringBoot application fails to start

Javaagent or library instrumentation version

v2.13.1

Environment

JDK: OpenJDK 25
openjdk version "25-ea" 2025-09-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 25-ea+11-1205)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25-ea+11-1205, mixed mode, sharing)
OS:
Linux x86-64

well, let's start with 24-ea 😄 #13376

Thanks for the quick response @trask! I tested locally with the 24-rc1 and it works well, at least in my limited tests that I did for HTTP+Postgresql.

This is the 24 version I tried:

openjdk version "24" 2025-03-18
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 24+36-3646)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24+36-3646, mixed mode, sharing)

I see the same message:

WARNING: sun.misc.Unsafe::objectFieldOffset will be removed in a future release

so I think it's maybe something else, or perhaps a JVM bug. I'll dig more into this.
