That is a fairly old version. You should upgrade to the latest version

I certainly will. I first went through a long list of linting problems
in the project; this was one of the things left over. I wanted to
understand it more.
If you want to fix the warning, those are not the correct dependencies.
If you want the exact dependencies used with 9.0.50 then you can find
them from the source code:
…
You want
bnd (not bndlib) 5.3.0
OSGi annotations 1.1.0
That's super helpful. I'll go look for those.
But could someone give a 1–3 sentence overview of what these libraries
are and why Tomcat uses them? Or is there a wiki page explaining that
already?
The bnd library is used to generate JPMS and OSGI metadata for the
Tomcat JARs. Most of the metadata is generated from scanning the JARs
but where code uses the ServiceLoader, the annotation is required so
that bnd can generate the correct service dependencies.
The annotation is only used by bnd during the build. It is not used at
runtime.
