Code Example for Reproduction Steps

package org.example;


import com.jagrosh.jdautilities.command.CommandClient;

import com.jagrosh.jdautilities.commons.waiter.EventWaiter;
import net.dv8tion.jda.api.JDA;
import net.dv8tion.jda.api.JDABuilder;
import org.example.commands.HelloWorld;

// Press Shift twice to open the Search Everywhere dialog and type `show whitespaces`,
// then press Enter. You can now see whitespace characters in your code.
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventWaiter waiter = new EventWaiter();

        CommandClient commandClient = new CommandClientBuilder()
                .setPrefix("..")
                .addCommand(new HelloWorld())
                .build();
        JDA bot = JDABuilder.createDefault("dinahu")
                .addEventListeners(commandClient, waiter)
                .build();

jda-utilities is still on jda 4, I don't think it's recommended at all

[Andre601]

This is not a JDA, but a JDA-Utilities issue.
If you want to use utils for v5 of JDA, use 2.0-SNAPSHOT of JDA-Chewtils by Chew.
