Hello @clouless  
In one of the other threads about Confluence 8.8 compat , @mkemp  
mentions that there are changes in the web-resource manager APIs ([https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/confluence-8-8-release-eap-available-now/76056/17](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/confluence-8-8-release-eap-available-now/76056/17) ) … maybe he knows the story for WebResourceUrlProvider and getStaticPluginResourceUrl?

I am also running into problems with web-resource APIs in my classpath, not sure but they might be related because mine are also web-resource API classes: when building against 8.7.1 it fails because com.atlassian.plugin.servlet.DownloadableResource is not available. It looks like maybe the “old” web-resource transform APIs are now gone and the switch to the “new” APIs is mandatory for 8.7+? I’m not sure: [https://developer.atlassian.com/server/framework/atlassian-sdk/stateless-web-resource-transforms-and-conditions/](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/framework/atlassian-sdk/stateless-web-resource-transforms-and-conditions/) … I think I will refactor my web-resource-transformer implementation to use the “new” API per that doc.
