URLClassLoader and Multi-release jar

Question

I use the URLClassLoader to dynamically load JDBC drivers into my application. My application is compiled under OpenJDK15. I cannot upgrade since some drivers would get issues under higher versions.

One of the drivers is using truffle-api-22.2.0.jar, which has support for two Java versions:

truffle-api-22.2.0.jar\META-INF\versions\11 and 17

When the jar is loaded, I get this exception:

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: META-INF/versions/17/module-info has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 61.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 59.0

I used:

urlClassLoader = new URLClassLoader( urlsArray, OneClassFromMyCode.class.getClassLoader() );
urlClassLoader.loadClass( className );

The URLClassLoader documentation states that this should work with multi-version jars. Which could be the issue?
