>Mockito 5 shipped a breaking change where its main artifact is now an agent. That's because starting JVM 22, the previous so-called "dynamic attachment of agents" is put behind a flag

Wouldn't this hold back enterprise adoption, the same way breaking changes meant that Java 8 was widely used for a long time?

JVM 22 stuff isn't going to be mainline at enterprise for years. Java 25 is the first LTS release that includes it and it's only just been released.

Most places are just about getting rid of 8 for 17.

I know!!!!!! I've been yelling about this for years how impossible to uplift JVM versions is because of how products were built! It's so crazy. Lots of obfuscated jars went unsupported after like Java 7.

It just means your test runs need to add the flag.
