UI Framework Error issues

@jwnasambu @ndacyayisenga So I understand things: switching to Java 8 made this issue go away?

The reason I’m asking is that we’ve seen a number of reports for what looks like (from the logs @ndacyayisenga provided) the underlying issue, namely this:

WARN - AbstractApplicationContext.refresh(559) |2021-07-01T11:29:31,844| Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'initPathMatcher' defined in URL [jar:file:/home/ndacyayisenga/openmrs/server5/.openmrs-lib-cache/webservices.rest/lib/webservices.rest-omod-2.4-2.31.0.jar!/org/openmrs/module/webservices/rest/InitPathMatcher.class]: Post-processing of merged bean definition failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to introspect Class [org.openmrs.module.webservices.rest.InitPathMatcher] from ClassLoader [{ModuleClassLoader: uid=291332357; webservices.rest}]

But I don’t think we’ve yet worked out how to reproduce the issue, so any understanding of what might’ve caused it could be quite helpful.

@ibacher you were right on this. Though we were able to build an sdk instance successfully, he is still failing to watch coreapp module. Something I have also failed to do for quite long as reflected on this link https://talk.openmrs.org/t/build-failure-when-trying-to-watch-a-module-on-an-sdk-instance/31940/22.
