JDK21 aarch64_linux(ub22-aarch64-5)
JDK21 aarch64_linux(rhel9-aarch64-1)

The Ant version is Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.5 compiled on July 10 2018.
Re-running the job in the same machine seems failed again, so this appears to a machine-related instead of an intermittent issue.

We don't see this on the OpenJ9 machines. The latest build is https://openj9-jenkins.osuosl.org/job/Pipeline_Build_Test_JDK21_aarch64_linux/139/ and it's fine.
Since this seems to be an internal machine problem, not sure why it's being tracked here.

I think this failure is the same problem as #18057. This build does not include eclipse/omr#7104.

Latest run JDK21 aarch64_linux(sles15-aarch64-2) did pass

20:18:53  openjdk version "21-internal" 2023-09-19
20:18:53  OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 21-internal-adhoc.jenkins.BuildJDK21aarch64linuxPersonal)

Will see if it passes in previously failed machines.

The ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException wasn't reproduced in previously failed machines w/ latest JDK21 aarch64_linux as per #18082 (comment)
ub20-aarch64-4
rhel8-aarch64-2
