Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure on Debian 13 with OpenJDK 21 and Maven, and capture the full compiler diagnostics for the core-pva module; the issue only includes Maven's summary. Compare the failing environment with the reported successful Fedora build to narrow down the cause. Done means identifying the cause and verifying that core-pva compiles on the affected setup.

Description

Hello,

I have a compilation problem on Debian 13 with the latest version.

[INFO] BUILD FAILURE
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Total time:  2.036 s
[INFO] Finished at: 2026-02-03T13:24:43+01:00

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.6.2:compile (default-compile) on project core-pva: Compilation failure -> [Help 1]
[ERROR] 
[ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.
[ERROR] Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.
[ERROR] 
[ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles:

[ERROR] 
[ERROR] After correcting the problems, you can resume the build with the command
[ERROR]   mvn <args> -rf :core-pva

I therefore tested with a Docker container running Fedora and was able to successfully compile Phoebus.
