Known Build Warnings

When running tests or the application, you may see the following harmless JVM warnings in your console:

1. WARNING: A restricted method in java.lang.System has been called

   • Why it happens: The SQLite JDBC driver uses native C libraries via System.load(). Java 22+ logs a warning whenever native libraries are loaded without explicit permission flags.
   • Why it's normal: Standard SQLite behavior. It's completely harmless and does not affect the app.

2. Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: Sharing is only supported for boot loader classes...

   • Why it happens: Spring Boot uses dynamic library modification (like ByteBuddy for Mockito checks) which disables the JVM's "Class Data Sharing" (CDS) optimization for application classes.
   • Why it's normal: Standard behavior for Spring implementations with mock testing setups.
