    HACK Grab the bean with a name matching the jobKey from the target plugin's. Ideally, we'd be loading an OSGi ServiceReference by name, but that won't work for us here, due to spring-scanner not supporting adding custom properties, and OSGi not having named service instances by default. Sigh DO NOT DO WHAT I HAVE DONE :(
    The reason why this method returns Optional<Object> instead of Optional<ApplicationContext> is to avoid class casting errors between different classloaders, e.g.
    java.lang.ClassCastException: org.springframework.osgi.atlassian.NonValidatingOsgiBundleXmlApplicationContext cannot be cast to org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext
