@OlgaMaciaszek

Do you know if Java 25 and AOT should be, at least, supported by default?

Comment From: OlgaMaciaszek

Thanks, @cdprete. It should work. I will look into it later this month.

Comment From: cdprete

I can see also tons of

in my client.

Comment From: cdprete

@OlgaMaciaszek The NPEs seems to be caused by spring.aot.enabled=true. Without it there are no issues.
