Description

Invalid GBean references are not identified until the component attempts to start which is very inconvenient for users.

If you deploy the attached JAR and plan, it is distributed successfully but fails during startup when the GBean in the plan can't find ServerInfo. This is not correct behavior – we should fail during distribute if there are bad GBean references.
