Runtime Execpetion with JAVA 21 (LTS) in MVEL Module

[stefanbrrr0310]

Hi There,

i just tried to move my project, which uses the MVEL module from Java 11 to java 21. Unfortunately i get a runtime Exception during Execution, as the Class "java.lang.Compiler", which is used during the creation of a MVELRule Condition, is not availavle in java 21. This happens in the used MVEL library. Maybe an Update of the MVEL Version solves this issue?

I think upgrading mvel2 to 2.5.0+ should resolve this issue as it drops java.lang.Compiler reference in mvel/mvel@2eba49d.

@stefanbrrr0310 Just wondering, if it worked for you, When I tried upgrading mvel2 version to 2.5.2.Final did not work ?
