> But the [ASM changelog](https://asm.ow2.io/versions.html) says Java 17 support was only added with ASM 9.1. That version is only included in [Groovy 4.0.0-alpha-2](https://github.com/apache/groovy/blob/1136910170fd100fb2d792db95ec08b935f29530/versions.properties#L20). Turns out ASM 9.1 is not in Groovy 4.0.0-alpha-2 either - it is only in HEAD. According to [the Groovy issue tracker](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9943), it may end up in Groovy 3.0.8 and/or 4.0.0-alpha-3. Both of them are not released at this point. Therefore, I will create a separate merge request to add Java 17-ea to the matrix, and this merge request will only add Java 16. We can then merge this one on short notice, and merge the other one when there is a suitable Groovy version available. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
