Description

This works the same way as https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPLUGIN-364 which requested support for Java 14.

In org.apache.maven.plugin-tools:maven-plugin-tools-annotations:3.6.0, the ASM API version is still wired to ASM7:

 public MojoClassVisitor( Logger logger )
 {
     super( Opcodes.ASM7 );
     this.logger = logger;
 }

At least ASM8 is required to process records, for example, and ASM 9.1 is available on Maven Central, so it might be worth upgrading.
