It is packaged as part of `abcl-contrib.jar`.

This indicates that for some reason your installation cannot locate
abcl-contrib.jar.

Summary: abcl-contrib is fine, but there is an issue with Maven (even though mvn.bat is in path). Details below:

* Loading ABCL- CONTRIB:

Below is the output of my --no-init startup. I compared my output with yours, and I don't see anything substantially different. Loading abcl-contrib works fine. The ASDF version is 3.1.7.27.

* Loading QUICKLISP, CFFI, leading to Maven error

Once I load quicklisp, I try loading CFFI, where I get

; Caught SIMPLE-WARNING:

; Unable to locate Maven executable to find Maven Aether adaptors.

mvn.bat is in my path. I can execute it from the Command shell. I really poorly understand Java setup, and its environment.

Also from within ABCL:

(uiop/run-program:run-program '("where" "mvn.bat") :output :string)

"C:\\Program Files\\apache-maven-3.3.9\\bin\\mvn.bat

NIL

A few more details on how you have installed ABCL locally and how you
are invoking it would be helpful (i.e. "I downloaded abcl-1.4.0-bin.zip;
unzipped in a directory, and I invoke it with this command").

I don't recall how I installed it, although it was not straightforward. For example, I extracted the startup bat file from the online repository and formatted it so it would work.
