Your issue here:
Hi,
trying to run validator on java oracle 17.0.6 and maven 3.8.7 and having trouble with google juice.
I get errors:
"[ERROR] Caused by: Unable to load cache item
[ERROR] Caused by: Could not initialize class com.google.inject.internal.cglib.core.$MethodWrapper"

I'm not sure the version used in validator (4.2.2) should work with Java 17 and manual exclusion and inclusion of 5. doesn't seem to work either.

I can see in sources of 2.2.0 that deps have been updated. What's the status of that version? When will it be released?
I downloaded sources of 2.2.2 and built it locally and was getting error that activation.Database was missing, so I added the dependency and it worked

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.activation</groupId>
        <artifactId>activation</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.1</version>
    </dependency>

Is that reliable now?;)

Thank you,
Adam
