If a project requires the use of CGLIB version 3, but the available artifact is only compatible with version 2, the following options can be considered:
-
Update dependencies: Try to find or build the CGLIB version 3 artifact yourself that is compatible with your environment.
-
Use alternative libraries: For example, ByteBuddy or Javassist, which can replace CGLIB functionality.
-
Isolate versions: If the project depends on different versions of CGLIB, you can use class isolation mechanisms (e.g., through classloaders) to avoid conflicts.
-
Update the project: If possible, update the code and dependencies to use a compatible version of CGLIB.
-
Patch the artifact: As a last resort, you can fork the CGLIB 3 source code and build your own artifact compatible with your environment.
The choice depends on the specific project requirements and constraints regarding time and resources.
