Make Warp Java 11 compatible - upgrade Javassist

Warp fails with Java 11. An update of Javassist is needed.

The "Affects version" is wrong, I use Warp 1.0.0.Final, but it is not in the list.

Attached zip StatelessMaven.zip contains a full sample with a Warp test. Unzip it and run "mvn verify -Parq-remote" with Java 11. You must have started a WildFly 26 server on your local machine to make it work.

This exception raises:

org.jboss.arquillian.warp.exception.ClientWarpExecutionException:
enriching request failed; caused by:
javassist.NotFoundException: de.hsrm.cs.javaee8.statelessmaven.web.test.WarpIT$1
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException:

Caused by: javassist.NotFoundException: de.hsrm.cs.javaee8.statelessmaven.web.test.WarpIT$1

My workaround: in "StatelessMaven-web\pom.xml", I added an exclusion to the dependency "org.jboss.arquillian.extension:arquillian-warp-jsf":

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.extension</groupId>
            <artifactId>arquillian-warp-jsf</artifactId>
            <scope>test</scope>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>javassist</groupId>
                    <artifactId>javassist</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
              </exclusions>
        </dependency>

And I added a new dependency:

      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.javassist</groupId>
        <artifactId>javassist</artifactId>
        <scope>test</scope>
      </dependency>

No version number is needed, as "org.javassist:javassist" is provided by the WildFly bom. For WildFly 26, this is "3.27.0-GA".

Now, the test works.

I tested also with other versions of Javassist and Java runtime:

Different Error with "javassist" 3.23.0-GA

enriching request failed; caused by:
java.lang.NullPointerException: null
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException:

It starts working with 3.24.0-GA

Error with Java 17 (might also be caused by as missing module info in my sample?):
