[Exist-open] can't use ConsoleModule after downgrading from 6.3.0 to 6.2.0

[Craig B. <cra...@ma...>]

I tried eXist 6.3.0 but cannot use it be because things I depend on use modules with location hints and I get the XQST0059 error as described here:

https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/issues/5530

So, I thought, since 6.2.0 and 6.3.0 are binary compatible, I'd just downgrade to 6.2.0 and keep the same data directory and be back where I was.   I did that but now it can't find the console module using an import statement that's worked for years.

This XQuery:
-----
xquery version "3.1";
import module namespace console="http://exist-db.org/xquery/console" at "java:org.exist.console.xquery.ConsoleModule";
let $x := console:log('got here')
return $x
-----

throws this error:

-----
Cannot compile xquery: err:XPST0081 Invalid qname console:log. No namespace defined for prefix console. QName is invalid: INVALID_PREFIX [at line 3, column 11]
-----

If I remove the location hint I then get:

-----
Cannot compile xquery: exerr:ERROR error found while loading module console: Cannot find module class from EXPath repository: org.exist.console.xquery.ConsoleModule
-----

The most relevant bits of the stack dump in the log seem to be:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.exist.console.xquery.ConsoleModule
	at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:445) ~[?:?]

	at org.exist.xquery.XQueryContext.resolveInEXPathRepository(XQueryContext.java:579) ~[exist-core-6.2.0.jar:6.2.0]

Is there a way to (re)acquire the console module in eXist 6.2.0?

This is on Java 17, Mac OS X 15.3 x86_64.
