[BUG] Spring incompatibility with TeamCity 2024.07.3

[sgaspari]

Describe the bug

After installing Checkmarx AST 2.0.24 plugin, TeamCity is reporting an error related to Spring configuration (in Administration > Server Administration > Plugins page).
After a quick analysis we saw that the plugin is embedding Spring Core 6.1.14 whereas TeamCity is running Spring Core 5.3.34.
This could explain the plugin failing to load its Spring context.

Expected behavior

Successful loading of the Checkmarx AST plugin.

Actual behavior

Presently TeamCity 2024.07.3 is unable to load the plugin (latest tested compatible version = 2.0.22).

Steps to reproduce

1. Install TeamCity 2024.07.3
2. Install Checkmarx AST plugin version 2.0.24
3. Restart TeamCity server
4. Go to Administration > Server Administration > Plugins page to see the error.

Environment

• TEAMCITY PLUGIN version: 2.0.24
• TeamCity server version 2024.07.3
• Server platform: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
• openjdk version "17.0.6" 2023-01-17

Additional comments

On JetBrains marketplace there is no restriction about TeamCity version compatibility range.
