I am assigning this to myself and will revisit it when we are doing more testing with JDK 21.

Some pretty wanky logic in the AbstractTableModel::fireListenerChanged, though - why assume listeners.length >= 2?

I believe that is because that particular class uses the listeners field to store the listener’s type along with the listener itself. Thus, there will always be 2 entries for each listener in that array. That being said, that is Java’s code, not Ghidra’s.

The stack trace shows the issue being triggered by the Bundle Manager, which is related to script bundles. My guess is that you have configured one or more script bundles in the past. Something inside of the tool when restoring that bundle state seems to be causing the issue.
