Java 17 refuses to use the jdbc driver for mariadb because of a missing
plugin
This error persists on both version 2.7.2-1 and 2.7.4-1, but is
fixed upstream in the jar file downloaded from mariadb.com for versions
3.0.5 and 2.7.5.
Specific error reproduced in java and jshell binaries:

I poked around and it seems in the metadata requires it but the
actual files are missing from org/mariadb/jdbc/credential/ (no aws
directory)
$unzip -d mdb-2.7.4-1/ /usr/share/maven-repo/org/mariadb/jdbc/mariadb-java-client/2.7.4/mariadb-java-client-2.7.4.jar
$rgrep -i aws mdb-2.7.4-1/META-INF/
mdb-2.7.4-1/META-INF/maven/org.mariadb.jdbc/mariadb-java-client/pom.xml: <exclude>**/Aws**</exclude>
mdb-2.7.4-1/META-INF/services/org.mariadb.jdbc.credential.CredentialPlugin:org.mariadb.jdbc.credential.aws.AwsIamCredentialPlugin
Comparing to version 2.7.5 from mariadb.com I got
------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ diff -qr mdb-2.7.4-1/ mdb-2.7.5/ | grep Only
Only in mdb-2.7.5/org/mariadb/jdbc/credential: aws
Only in mdb-2.7.5/org/mariadb/jdbc/internal/com/send/authentication/gssapi: WindowsNativeSspiAuthentication.class
