Please note - it does start when running with Cassandra 5
h2. Do you see the same behaviour using the latest released Debezium version?

(Ideally, also verify with latest Alpha/Beta/CR version)

3.0.1 is the latest, so yes
h2. Do you have the connector logs, ideally from start till finish?

(You might be asked later to provide [DEBUG/TRACE|https://debezium.io/documentation/reference/stable/operations/logging.html] level log)

Yes - [^debezium4.log]
h2. How to reproduce the issue using our [tutorial|https://github.com/debezium/debezium-examples/tree/main/tutorial] deployment?

Have not tried

Start at io.debezium.connector.cassandra.CassandraConnectorTask.java:27, where Cassandra 4 schema loading begins, then follow CassandraConnectorContext.java:49 and the stack trace through Cassandra's FBUtilities reflection failure on JDK 17. Reproduce with Debezium 3.0.1, Cassandra 4.0.14, and JDK 17; done means the connector starts successfully without the InaccessibleObjectException.
