Description
Hi all,
Support for using the jdk http client in the exporters rather than the okhttp one was introduced in https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java/issues/5351.
As far as I see the agent doesn't support this feature nor it can be configured in an extension.
Are there plans to include it?
Thank you

Research direction
Start by reviewing upstream issue 5351 and how the Java agent exporters currently select or configure their HTTP client. No file or test is named in this issue. Done means the agent supports using the JDK HttpClient in exporters and provides the requested extension configuration, with suitable coverage for that behavior.
