各位大佬好，我最近在开发Spring Boot应用时遇到了个棘手的问题：SkyWalking Java Agent 9.4.0和ical4j 4.1.1库之间出现了类重定义冲突，导致应用直接启动失败，折腾好一阵都没搞定，来求助大家！

环境信息 #

• SkyWalking Java Agent：9.4.0
• SkyWalking Server：10.2.0
• Java SDK：21
• 框架：基于Jakarta EE的Spring Boot，搭配Spring Data JPA、Spring MVC
• 问题依赖：ical4j（org.mnode.ical4j）版本4.1.1

问题现象 #

当我移除ical4j依赖时，应用搭配SkyWalking Agent能正常启动运行；但只要引入ical4j，启动瞬间就会触发类重定义失败的错误，直接崩溃。

错误栈信息 #

问题分析 #

根据错误信息我大概判断：SkyWalking Agent在尝试重转换ical4j的类（org.mnode.ical4j.*下的类）时，发现这些类已经被加载，且它们的超类或接口定义和Agent要修改后的定义不一致，导致类重定义操作直接失败，进而触发启动异常。

已尝试的解决方法 #

我已经在SkyWalking的agent.config里调整了一堆配置，试图让Agent跳过对ical4j类的处理，但都没效果：

• agent.class_cache_mode=OFF
• agent.is_cache_enhanced_class=false
• agent.is_open_debugging_class=true
• agent.is_parallel_class_transform=false
• agent.trace.ignore_path=/org/mnode/**,org/mnode/ical4j/**
• plugin.toolkit.log.ignore_filters=org.mnode.ical4j.*

现在实在没思路了，想请教各位：有没有办法让SkyWalking Agent完全跳过对ical4j所有类的增强和转换？或者还有其他可行的解决方向吗？
