Support Java 25 for build, test, and Docker publishing #13671

Siman-hub · 2026-01-16T11:14:40Z

Feature Description

This PR introduces comprehensive support for JDK 25 across the build system, CI, and Docker release workflows, while maintaining backward compatibility for JDK 11-21.

Changes:

Build Configuration (pom.xml):
- Upgraded lombok to 1.18.40 to support JDK 25.
- Configured maven-compiler-plugin to explicitly define annotationProcessorPaths. This resolves compilation issues where the annotation processor was not correctly discovered on newer JDKs.
- Compatibility: Verified that maven.compiler.source and target remain at 11 to ensure the project can still be built and run on older LTS versions (11, 17, 21).
CI Matrices (skywalking.yaml):
- Added 25 to the java-version matrix for Unit Tests, Integration Tests, and E2E Tests.
Docker Release (publish-docker.yaml):
- Added a dedicated build step to publish the official image based on eclipse-temurin:25-jre.
Documentation:
- Updated How-to-build.md to include JDK 25 in the supported versions list.
- Added an entry to changes/changes.md.

Testing:

✅ JDK 25: Verified mvn clean package passes locally.
✅ JDK 21: Verified mvn clean package passes locally (backward compatibility confirmed).

Checklist

Update the documentation to include this new feature.
Tests (including UT, IT, E2E) are added to verify the new feature.

You need to resolve conflicts.

Look like one UT fails. Could you verify locally?

Thanks for the heads-up.
I’ll run the failing UT locally on JDK 25 and report back shortly.

I verified this locally. The unit test failure was indeed due to the old Mockito 4.x / ByteBuddy 1.14 dependencies being incompatible with JDK 25.

Update of JDK 25 Support Fixes:

I have successfully verified this build locally on both JDK 21 and JDK 25. To achieve compatibility without disrupting the existing project baseline, I implemented the following:

Groovy Upgrade: Upgraded meter-analyzer to 4.0.29 for Java 25 bytecode support.
Mockito 5 Overrides: Forced Mockito 5.11.0 and ByteBuddy 1.17.0 only in modules that fail on JDK 25 (server-core, library-util, library-datacarrier-queue, and meter-analyzer). This keeps the Root POM stable for legacy modules.
Spying Safety: Added an isMock() check in AnalyzerTest.java to handle Mockito 5's stricter "spy-on-spy" validation.
License Compliance: Updated dist-material/release-docs/LICENSE to reflect the Groovy 4.0.29 version.
Manual Test Results: Verified that server-core, library-util, and meter-analyzer pass all tests on JDK 25 locally.

Please move all dependency version update into bom. Each module should not have its specific version.

Same for bytebuddy. You should update bom, dependency management.

We prefer consistent and unified version in the project level. Please update by following this principal.

Spying Safety: Added an isMock() check in AnalyzerTest.java to handle Mockito 5's stricter "spy-on-spy" validation.

License Compliance: Updated dist-material/release-docs/LICENSE to reflect the Groovy 4.0.29 version.

And there is a mock error in the CI. please recheck it.
