java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver not found by com.atlassian.activeobjects.activeobjects-plugin

We are trying to use EntityManager from Active Objects as per Creating an EntityManager.

Bitbucket SDK does not seem to include Oracle JDBC driver, so we copy from a Bitbucket Server instance the Oracle JDBC driver at $BITBUCKET_SERVER\app\WEB-INF\lib\ojdbc8-12.2.0.1-atlassian-hosted.jar into our plug-in workspace at target\bitbucket\app\WEB-INF\lib\ojdbc8-12.2.0.1-atlassian-hosted.jar as per https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Re-JDBC-Driver-Loading-in-Jira-8-0-0/qaq-p/2020555/comment-id/533703#M533703.

We got the exception:

net.java.ao seems to be included from com.atlassian.activeobjects.activeobjects-plugin, so does is it not the original one?

Any advice?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
