Ok:  
Yes, there is some mechanism which transforms / edits the plugin OSGi bundle. I was not aware of that. Is that documented somewhere?

Basically, if you install the app, the app will be transformed and put into {confluence}/home/plugins-osgi-cache/transformed-plugins/{your-plugin-with-some-extra-timestamps}.jar.

If I open that .jar and inspect the manifest, then I have a gazillion extra imports, including the `bucket.user`.

I’ll switch to the Spring Config things and I see =). Or is there a way to opt out of any OSGi manifest manipulation?

Update: Trying to switch to Spring Java configuration. But I’m getting unexpected exceptions, see [here](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/importing-globalsettings-resulting-in-java-lang-classnotfoundexception-org-springframework-cglib-proxy-factory/80399). Unrelated to Confluence 9 itself, but it blocks me from progressing with Confluence 9 itself.
