from java import * not working in Java 21

[benken-parasoft]

Issue 105 is happening again but this time in Java 21.

This works in Java 17 but not Java 21:

from java.util import *
d = Date()

In Java 21, this results in:

NameError: global name 'Date' is not defined

In Java 21, I have to use "from java.util import Date" instead of "from java.util import *".
This problem happens with "import *" from other "java" packages as well, not just "java.util".

I notice the build.xml references ASM 9.3 which supports Java 19.
I expect ASM would have to be updated to at least 9.5 to support Java 21.

It would be nice if Jython pushed out regular service releases for third party library updates to stay ahead of re-occurring issues like this as well as CVEs like the one in Guava (issue 269).

I'll see if it's that simple.

It is. Thanks for suggesting.
