Bug Report: Memory leak when using Jersey client

[albanf]

Brief Summary

When using Jersey and Jackson to deserialize XML, any change to the configuration of the WebTarget causes a memory leak.

I suspect this was caused by FISH-6432 Applications Take Longer To Deploy on JDK 17) (payara/patched-src-hk2@3.0.1.payara-p1...3.0.1.payara-p2), since it works with prior versions (as well as HK2 3.0.3, before 3.0.4 that includes the same patch).

Also posted in Jersey and HK2 projects: eclipse-ee4j/jersey#5796, eclipse-ee4j/glassfish-hk2#1126.

Expected Outcome

Resources are cleaned up as expected

Current Outcome

Resources are not cleaned up
