Cause

Tomcat was upgraded to 9.0.99 in version 2.15.9 due to vulnerability fix for CVE-2025-24813.

Resolution

In the started task add this java option to resolve the problem:
IJO="$IJO --add-opens=java.base/java.io=ALL-UNNAMED"

Additional Information

NOTES:

  1. This problem is not related to the original vulnerability, but rather an incompatibility with Java 17.
    Configuring the JVM with --add-opens to expose internal packages does not re-enable the underlying vulnerability, it just grants reflective access to java.io.* classes for other components within the same JVM process, which is a requirement for certain internal operations under the stricter module system introduced in Java 17.

  2. Java 17 is supported with Bridge For Git from version 2.15.3 onwards.
