InvocationTargetException when debugging after upgrading to IntelliJ IDEA 2024.3

[tyjuji]

I managed to setup HotswapAgent and got it running last week.
However, after upgrading to IntelliJ IDEA 2024.3, from 2024.2.4, I would receive the following error when debugging:

I don't know enough about the instrumentation to figure out what the error is, however, I can see in the release notes for 2024.3, that there have been changes to the standard hotswap. Perhaps there's a conflict here?
I have downgraded to 2024.2.4 again, and HotswapAgent works once more.

My setup:
IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2024.3
My project is language level 11
JDK: https://cache-redirector.jetbrains.com/intellij-jbr/jbr_dcevm-11_0_16-windows-x64-b2043.64.tar.gz
from https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime/releases/tag/jbr11_0_16b2043.64
HotswapAgent 2.0.1 jar added to lib/hotswap in the JBR.
Tomcat 9.0.96
VM Options: "-Dnashorn.args=--no-deprecation-warning -XX:+AllowEnhancedClassRedefinition -XX:HotswapAgent=fatjar"
If I run the project without "-XX:+AllowEnhancedClassRedefinition -XX:HotswapAgent=fatjar", then debug starts just fine in 2024.3.

Seeing this as well after 2024.3 upgrade.

[gejun123456]

intellij 2024.3 bundled debugger agent seems conflicting with hotswapAgent.
related issue: JetBrains/debugger-agent#9.

[skybber]

New debugger agent is redefining core classes from JDK (can be seen by -Xlog:redefine+class=info) . Redefinition of core classes is not fully supported in dcevm11 now. So it can be fixed either in dcevm11 or turning off redefinition of JDK classes on debug agent side.

[gejun123456]

provide an vm option on debug agent side like -DdisableRedefineJdkClasses=true seem to be the fast way to fix this. java8 also has issues.

[skybber]

The current workaround is to disable the "Instrumenting Agent" option. To do this, navigate to "Build, Execution, Deployment" → "Debugger" → "Async Stack Traces" and uncheck the "Instrumenting agent".
