We have recently trying to move to Eclipse l.y.o. 5.0.0 from our previous version to give effect to JAS authorization. Now to move to this version, we need to remove wink jars and some other jars as per documentation and use jdk 11 for our java based adapter. We have made the said changes but now when we are trying to deploy it on liberty server it is throwing an error like-

It looks like that some other class file is referring to this org/apache/wink/json4j/JSONException file though we have removed every occurence of this file from our java adapter, still it is giving same error. Can anyone help in this.

Thanks in Advance.
