I just tried to update a project to Java 25 and now I’m getting this strange exception. From googling it I guess it also shows up with Java 21 and preview features enabled. Anyone a idea what could cause this?
Execution failed for task ':vaadinPrepareFrontend'.
> com.vaadin.flow.server.ExecutionFailedException: Error occured during goal execution: Cannot invoke "java.lang.Class.isInterface()" because the return value of "org.reflections.Reflections.forClass(String, java.lang.ClassLoader[])" is null
Please run Maven with the -e switch (or Gradle with the --stacktrace switch), to learn the full stack trace.
