The current version of Weld uses a dependency called ClassFileWriter.
Reflective call has been fixed by replacing the offending call in PR#17.
That fix is available in tagged 1.2.4.
Weld tagged version 3.1.1.Final is the earliest version to include the classfilewriter fix.

When time permits the version of Weld should be version bumped to 3.1.1.Final.

Here are a couple more cases where classfilewriter is used

JEP 396 hints at the intention to encapsulate by default.

[whitingjr]

JEP 396 is proposed for JDK16. Making the migration to LTS version JDK17 a barrier.
The Weld project has ceased development of the 2.x versions. A proposal to version bump was rejected.
Instead Indy will need to be moved onto a version that is under active development. At this time that is 3. and 4.x.
