1️⃣ I cannot get the **`userManager.createUser(...)`** to work with Confluence 9.0-m132.  
Somehow I cannot import and use DefaultUser anymore.

```auto
                        <Import-Package>
                            com.atlassian.sal.*,
                            com.atlassian.user.impl.*,<!-- needed for usermanager.createuser -->
                        </Import-Package>

```

Now I get

```auto
Caused by: org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Unable to resolve io.codeclou.app-confluence-common [298](R 298.0): 
  missing requirement [io.foo.app-confluence-common [298](R 298.0)] 
   osgi.wiring.package; (osgi.wiring.package=com.atlassian.user.impl) 
    Unresolved requirements: [[io.foo.app-confluence-common [298](R 298.0)] 
     osgi.wiring.package; (osgi.wiring.package=com.atlassian.user.impl)]

```

2️⃣ Second is **UserPreferencesAccessor** and **UserAccessor** gets OSGI errors when trying to use it

```auto
1. org.glassfish.hk2.api.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: There was no object available for injection at SystemInjecteeImpl(requiredType= UserPreferencesAccessor,parent=UsersEndpoint,qualifiers={},position=1,optional=false,self=false,unqualified=null,1108564563)
2. java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: While attempting to resolve the dependencies of io.foo.app.confluence.common.rest.UsersEndpoint errors were found
3. java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to perform operation: resolve on io.foo.app.confluence.common.rest.UsersEndpoint

```

I do with Spring Java Config

```auto
    @Bean
    public UserPreferencesAccessor initUserPreferencesAccessor() {
        return importOsgiService(UserPreferencesAccessor);
    }

```

ℹ **UPDATE 2024-07-01** : With Confluence 9.0-beta2 the app starts again and can access the UserAccessor. **BUT ⚡ it is marked as deprecated** =\> ❓ What is the right Class to use to get/set UserPreferences then? I use currently:

```auto
User foundUser = userManager.getUser(userName);
ConfluenceUserPreferences prefs = userAccessor.getConfluenceUserPreferences(foundUser);
prefs.setString(UserPreferencesKeys.PROPERTY_USER_LOCALE, localePayload.getLocale());

```

ℹ **UPDATE 2024-07-02** : ✅ Using **UserPreferencesAccessor** instead of **UserAccessor** works with Confluence 9.0-beta2. No deprecation warnings anymore.
