Event Listener (Confluence) not working
Asked by Stefan Meindl:

Hey,

I am currently trying to make an event listener with this <https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/event-listener-module/> aproach. My problem is that I am missing packages and I don't know why. I checked my POM multiple times already. I am missing com.atlassian.event.\* and org.springframework.\*. That means no EventPublisher no DisposeableBean etc.

Here is my pom
