The initialization happens very lazily and the method calls in io.smallrye.opentelemetry.implementation.cdi.OpenTelemetryProducer#getOpenTelemetry requires a lot of permissions, such as FilePermission, RuntimePermission, ManagementPermission, FilePermission and LoggingPermission. The telemetry project doesn't account for the security manager, so we either need to initialize eagerly or update the mentioned method with privileged blocks.
