also had to move org.apache.sling.commons.metrics and io.dropwizard.metrics:metrics-core from start-level 15 to start-level 5 to be able to build the project due to

[ERROR] org.apache.sling:org.apache.sling.auth.core:1.5.2:  is importing package(s) org.apache.sling.commons.metrics in start level 5 but no bundle is exporting these for that start level.
