arraycopy: element type mismatch: can not cast when sending email using Kotlin and Jakarta.email

Question

I'm trying to test the delivery of an email via Gmail using Kotlin but when I run the project, a console project, I get the error

arraycopy: element type mismatch: can not cast one of the elements of java.lang.Object[] to the type of the destination array, jakarta.activation.MailcapRegistry

The code is quite straightforward. This is the main.kt file:

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    // Testing email
    val mailService = MailService()
    mailService.sendEmail("aaa.bbb@gmail.com",
        "aaa.bbb@gmail.com", "Test", "This is a test")
}

and the MailService class is the following:

import jakarta.mail.MessagingException
import jakarta.mail.Authenticator
import jakarta.mail.Message
import jakarta.mail.PasswordAuthentication
import jakarta.mail.Session
import jakarta.mail.internet.InternetAddress
import jakarta.mail.internet.MimeMessage
import java.util.*

class MailService {
    private val session : Session

    init {
        val username = "aaa.bbb@gmail.com"
        val password = "123456789"

        val properties = Properties()
        properties["mail.smtp.host"] = "smtp.gmail.com"
        properties["mail.smtp.port"] = "587"
        properties["mail.smtp.auth"] = "true";
        properties["mail.smtp.starttls.enable"] = "true"; //TLS

        val authenticator = object : Authenticator() {
            override fun getPasswordAuthentication() : PasswordAuthentication {
                return PasswordAuthentication(username, password)
            }
        }
        session = Session.getInstance(properties, authenticator)
        session.debug = true
    }

    fun sendEmail(fromEmailAddress : String,
                toEmailAddress : String,
                subject : String,
                bodyText : String) : Unit {
        try {
            var email = MimeMessage(session);

            email.setFrom(InternetAddress(fromEmailAddress, false));
            email.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress(toEmailAddress, false));
            email.subject = subject
            email.setText(bodyText)

            val smtpTransport = session.getTransport("smtp")
            smtpTransport.connect()
            smtpTransport.sendMessage(email, email.allRecipients)
            smtpTransport.close()
        }
        catch (messagingException: MessagingException) {
            messagingException.printStackTrace()
        }
    }
}

I tried the solution Tomcat 10, Java 17 - JavaMailSender cannot cast one of elements of java.lang.Object[] but it didn't work. I'm not getting anymore ideas where the problem is. It might be that the issue is under my nose but I'm not seeing it :-) Any suggestion? Thank you.
