Can I use the Target Platform BOM to include the correct biz.aQute.bndlib version?

Issue

• When using the Target Platform functionality in a Liferay Workspace (to use the dependencies from the target version's BOM) to try to include the biz.aQute.bndlib in a 7.2 dxp-5 custom module, it fails to compile. This used to build without issue in earlier versions of Liferay.
• The configuration we are using in gradle.properties is:
  

  compileOnly group: "biz.aQute.bnd", name: "biz.aQute.bndlib"

Environment

• DXP 7.2+
• Liferay Workspace using Gradle

Resolution

• The biz.aQute.bndlib has intentionally been removed from the Liferay BOM (see LPS-95269) -- as such, a version will need to be specified in order to use this artifact.
• For example:
  

  compileOnly group: "biz.aQute.bnd", name: "biz.aQute.bndlib", version: "3.5.0"

Additional Information

• If desired, it is possible to add a version for this artifact (and others) in a custom BOM, to prevent needing to populate versions of dependencies in multiple OSGi modules
