The Office365 application cannot be installed with OpenID Connect version > 2.0.0

This issue was reported by a support client. When trying to install the extension, the client gets the following error :

Closing as it turns out that the installation works well on a vanilla version of XWiki 14.10.13. The extension net.minidev:json-smart may be already installed by another dependency.

Re-opening the issue as I have found the root cause : it turns out that this extension cannot be installed with the OpenID Connect Authenticator v2.0.1. As the authenticator is fairly used today, it could be useful to try to find a solution.

Not an easy fix unfortunately
This dependency (microsoft azure java library) brings a transitive dependency with a fixed version range [1.3.3,2.4.7]. But OIDC has the version 2.4.11 defined since the last upgrade (it was upgraded to use 14.10 as the minimal parent)
The problem is that this ADAL library was archived this month and we already have the last version. So we have to migrate to MSAL4J in order to fix the problem. (upgrade + moving code from groovy, refactoring probably)
A quick fix for now should be to use a lower OIDC version ( <= 1.37.4 )
Testing also if excluding the dependency from maven brings problems
