Summary

Enable parent-managed Pax Exam 4.14.0 in oak-store-composite without upgrading Sling Testing PaxExam.

Changes

• Align the test host with TinyBundles 4.0.1 and stop inheriting Sling 3.1.0 TestSupport, which references the incompatible TinyBundles 3 API.
• Preserve required framework setup explicitly, using oak-it-osgi as the SPI Fly/JPMS reference.
• Use project-managed SLF4J/Logback and avoid duplicate ConfigAdmin provisioning.

Test plan

• mvn -B -ntp -pl oak-store-composite clean verify -PintegrationTesting passes on actual Java 17, 21 and 25: 55 unit tests and 2 integration tests per JDK.
• Independent correctness, consistency, compatibility and design reviews found no actionable issues.
• Spotless is not configured in this repository; RAT and OSGi baseline checks pass.

Why not just #3267 ?

[rishabhdaim]

Superseded by #3267, which keeps Sling TestSupport and includes the Java 25 SPI Fly/ASM fix validated on Java 17, 21 and 25. The combined scope is tracked in OAK-12022; OAK-12492 is closed as a duplicate.

Why not just #3267?

@mbaedke, your approach is much neater and cleaner, so we're going with #3267; this PR kept Sling 3.1.0 because we originally split the work between OAK-12022 (composite tests on Pax Exam 4.14.0) and OAK-12492 (the Sling Testing PaxExam 4.1.2 upgrade and Java 17/21/25 verification).

We've now consolidated both scopes under OAK-12022, closed OAK-12492 as a duplicate, and closed this PR as superseded, leaving #3267 as the only PR.
