azure-functions-maven-plugin 1.17.0 breaks package goal

[Djesco]

For a HttpTrigger function project I am trying to update the azure-functions-maven-plugin to the latest version (1.36.0). But starting at version 1.17.0 the mvn azure-functions:package goal breaks.

It fails at Step 1 of 8: Searching for Azure Functions entry points and only gives me the following error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.microsoft.azure:azure-functions-maven-plugin:1.17.0:package (package-functions) on project eab-function: com.microsoft.azure.toolkit.lib.common.exception.AzureToolkitRuntimeException: com.microsoft.azure.functions.annotation.FunctionName -> [Help 1]
If I try to run maven with -e or -X it only gives me the stack trace, no other specific error.

When I upgrade the function to version 1.19.0 and later it gives a slightly more specific error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.microsoft.azure:azure-functions-maven-plugin:1.19.0:package (package-functions) on project eab-function: generate configuration files and prepare staging directory: AzureToolkitRuntimeException: com.microsoft.azure.functions.annotation.FunctionName -> [Help 1]

I already tried looking at the documentation for this plugin but there is nothing mentioned in the changelog for version 1.17.0, my azure CLI is updated to the latest version and core tools is as well.

This is my plugin configuration:

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-functions-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.17.0</version>
    <configuration>
        <resourceGroup>FAKE-rg</resourceGroup>
        <region>westeurope</region>
        <appName>${functionAppName}</appName>
        <runtime>
            <os>linux</os>
            <javaVersion>17</javaVersion>
        </runtime>
        <appSettings>
            <property>
                <name>WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE</name>
                <value>1</value>
            </property>
            <property>
                <name>FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION</name>
                <value>~4</value>
            </property>
        </appSettings>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>package-functions</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>package</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

And this is my HttpTrigger code:

public class Function extends AzureHttpFunction {

    @FunctionName("HttpTrigger")
    public HttpResponseMessage invoke(@HttpTrigger(name = "req", methods = { HttpMethod.GET }, route = "{*route}",
            authLevel = AuthorizationLevel.ANONYMOUS) HttpRequestMessage<Optional<String>> request,
            final ExecutionContext context) {
        
        context.getLogger().fine("Http trigger uri " + request.getUri());
        ThreadContext.put("id", context.getInvocationId());
        
        return super.route(request, context);
    }
}

Wondering if it could have something to do with this PR: 476cc6e

I was correct in my assumption that the PR mentioned in my previous comment was the culprit.

To be precise, the removal of this dependency was causing my problem

<dependency>
            <groupId>com.microsoft.azure.functions</groupId>
            <artifactId>azure-functions-java-library</artifactId>
</dependency>

I added back the dependency and was able to upgrade to version 1.36.0 without further issue
