After I upgraded to Kotlin 1.9.20, my Maven build breaks with the following error:

[INFO] --- kotlin:1.9.20:kapt (default-kapt) @ awesomeproject ---

With Kotlin 1.9.10, everything works as expected. Any ideas how I can fix this?

with which JDK version do you run the build?

java -version
openjdk version "21" 2023-09-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 21+35)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 21+35, mixed mode, sharing)

hm, it should work in 1.9.20. Could you open a Kotlin issue? cc @Ilmir Usmanov [JB]
