[Triage] Someone should check on whether this is a concern and address if required.

[dbwiddis]

Transitive dependency from spotless (for formatting). Can resolve by forcing newest version of the dependency.

See opensearch-project/flow-framework#175

[dbwiddis]

Note the version fix requires JDK 17+ (for running Spotless, so configure your CI appropriately)

You are running Spotless on JVM 11, which limits you to eclipse jdt formatter 4.26.
