ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
Hardware: Raspberry PI 3B
OS: Linux raspberrypi 6.6.74+rpt-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.74-1+rpt1 (2025-01-27) aarch64 GNU/Linux
Java: openjdk 24 2025-03-18
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 24+36-3646)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24+36-3646, mixed mode, sharing)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Running a simple Spring Boot jar application on JDK 24 (Linux/AArch64) fails with a ClassNotFoundException.
* The same application runs fine on JDK 23.0.2
* The same application runs fine on JDK 24 on Windows/x64

The application consists of the demo application downloaded from https://start.spring.io/ and packaged as a jar by Maven.

REGRESSION : Last worked in version 23.0.2

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
* Download a project from https://start.spring.io/ with the settings: Maven build, Java language, Spring Boot 3.4.4 (also tried 3.5.0-M3), jar packaging, Java 21 (also tried 24), no extra dependencies
* Extract the project to a directory
* Build the project using:
mvn package
* Unpack the jar:
java -Djarmode=tools -jar demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar extract
* Run the app:
java -jar demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

(I also found that running -Djarmode=tools in JDK 24 on Linux/AArch64 failed with a ClassNotFoundException, albeit with a different class and stacktrace).

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
App runs and outputs something like:
