java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory in @Observes StartupEvent in GraalVM

Describe the bug Running the in OpenJDK, the following code works

    public void startup(@Observes StartupEvent ev) {
        org.slf4j.Logger logger = org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getLogger("test");
        logger.info("test");

        org.apache.commons.logging.Log log = org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.getLog("init");
        log.info("init");
    }

… but in GrallVM, org.slf4j.Logger can be initialized, but org.apache.commons.logging.Log can not, and one gets the following exception:

Expected behavior Once a class is loaded (i.e. org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory) subsequent class lookup should not result in a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.

Actual behavior org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory is loaded and methods invoked, but when a class that implements that interface is loaded, it fails to load.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. See above code

Configuration n/a

Screenshots n/a

Environment (please complete the following information):

• GraalVM version (if different from Java): 0-19.2.0.1
• Quarkus version or git rev: 0.23.2

My use case: commons-logging is used int the Apache HTTP client, which itself is used in AWS’ S3 Client.

If you include the artifact I referenced, that should enable you to work around the problem. You might have to manually add exclusions for commons-logging:commons-logging-api though.
