[GR-53590] Inconsistent Null return of getImplementationTitle()

[javier-godoy]

Describe the issue

Every time that I compile the application as a native image, a different set of classes return null for getPackage().getImplementationTitle().

All the packages are from JARs with a corresponding manifest, and running the application as a JAR produces the correct output.

Example manifest:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Implementation-Title: Module A
Implementation-Version: 2.1.4-SNAPSHOT
Vaadin-Package-Version: 1
Build-Jdk-Spec: 1.8
Created-By: Maven Archiver 3.4.0
Implementation-Vendor: Vendor Name

Steps to reproduce the issue

I've not been able to extract this issue to a MCVE, so please feel free to ask me any details that you think may be relevant.

1. mvn -Pnative native:compile
2. target\application.exe
3. The application has a getClasses service that return a set of classes.
4. Take note of the result of

getClasses().forEach(clazz->{
	logger.warn("Title "+route.getNavigationTarget().getPackage().getImplementationTitle());
});

e.g.

Module A
null
Module C

5. Close the application. Repeat steps 2-4 (without recompiling). The application produces the same output as in the previous step.
6. Close the application. Repeat from step 1 (compile and run). The application produces different output (a different set of classes has null title, while others are correctly set). The ouput remains the same until the application is compiled again.
   e.g.

Module A
Module B
null

(There are no code changes nor dependency changes between each compilation)

7. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Eventually, all modules log their title. 🤷‍♂️

Hi, could you please share a reproducer of this issue?

I think I have it. I'll seek approval from management to publish it, as it contains some code that hasn't been made public yet.
