[Java] - JDK21-EA - possible 'this' escape before subclass is fully initialized Compiler WARNING #4341
Description
- Using ANTLR 4.13.0
- JDK 21 EA build (21.ea.28-open)
- Created full working example as reproducer
- URL: https://github.com/khmarbaise/issue-antlr-4.13.0
- The github actions is done to build with JDK21 first and second with JDK20 to see the difference.
During the compilation of the example project it will emit compilation warnings:
[INFO] --- compiler:3.11.0:compile (default-compile) @ issue-antlr-4.13.0 ---

The same code compiles in JDK20.0.1 without WARNING. This implies very likely that it's related to JDK21 itself.
