Description

**[Tamas Cservenak](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=cstamas)** opened **[MSHADE-426](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-426?redirect=false)** and commented

If JAR contains classes under `META-INF/versions/19` the shade goal fails.

```

Research direction

Start at DefaultShader.shadeJarEntry and DefaultShader.addRemappedClass, where the stack trace shows the failure while processing META-INF/versions/19. Reproduce the shade goal with a Multi-Release JAR containing Java 19 classes, then verify that shading completes without the ASM unsupported-class-version error.
