[🐛 Bug]: The problem of [java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown HttpClient factory jdk-http-client] has appeared again.

[studyJavaForLive]

What happened?

I have a java project with dependencies

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
  <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
  <version>4.22.0</version>
</dependency>

Environment

JDK17
Windows 11
Edgebrowser: 106.0.1370.86

I packaged it using the following method to avoid dependency conflicts in another project.

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.4</version>
<executions>
  <execution>
    <phase>package</phase>
    <goals>
      <goal>shade</goal>
    </goals>
    <configuration>
      <relocations>
        <relocation>
          <pattern>org.openqa.selenium</pattern>
          <shadedPattern>link-download.org.openqa.selenium</shadedPattern>
        </relocation>
      </relocations>
    </configuration>
  </execution>
</executions>

My main function to excute.

    public void downloadFileThroughUrl() throws InterruptedException {
    System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator + "MicrosoftWebDriver.exe");

    EdgeOptions edgeOptions = new EdgeOptions();
    edgeOptions.addArguments("--headless");

    Map<String, Object> settings = new HashMap<>();
    settings.put("download.default_directory", System.getProperty("user.dir"));
    settings.put("plugins.always_open_pdf_externally", true);
    settings.put("download.prompt_for_download",false);
    settings.put("profile.default_content_settings.popups",0);
    settings.put("safebrowsing.enabled",true);

    WebDriver driver = null;
    try {
        edgeOptions.setExperimentalOption("prefs",settings);
        driver = new EdgeDriver(edgeOptions);
        driver.get("your valid download link");
        Thread.sleep(10000);
        System.out.println("Download successfully.");
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if(driver != null){
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}

Jar file link-download-1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip

How can we reproduce the issue?

In a new project, depending on this JAR file, and calling it using the following method:
    DownloadFileByLink downloadFileByLink = new DownloadFileByLink();
    downloadFileByLink.downloadFileThroughUrl();
Will appear [[java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown HttpClient factory jdk-http-client] when creating new driver.

Relevant log output
