This has been discussed before, but apparently is still causing problem. 
The most recent bug I've seen is 

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=436275
but also 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=435854

The original bug where this was discussed was 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=427862

Here's the "picture" from most recent "repo report"

com.google.guava
                 11.0.2.v201303041551
                 10.0.1.v201203051515
                 15.0.0.v201403281430
                 12.0.0.v201212092141

Four versions is probably a record! If I may refresh your memory, to be 
part of the Simultaneous Release repo requires using "the latest version 
from Orbit unless there is a technical reason not to". 
And sometimes there are technical reasons to have/use multiple versions 
... but even then that's ok to do only as long as it meets the "cause no 
harm" prime directive. 

So, please re-evaluate the version you pre-req, your and your adopters 
needs, and whether or not you are committed to being in the Simultaneous 
Release Repository. 

For those of you that find problems with having multiple version, please 
detail the steps to reproduce the problem, so the Planning Council can 
better understand the severity of the problem, and it's likely hood of 
occurring in the field. We may be in the unfortunate position of saying 
some projects can not be in "simultaneous release repo" [Your project can 
still release, from your own project's repo ... just not from the 
Simultaneous Release repo]. And, note, if some do have to be omitted, 
"fairness" or "only those using most recent" are not really the criteria 
we'll use, ... we'll just be looking to "do the least harm" to the 
community. 

I'll make more comments in the bugs ... as should you who use Guava ... 
but I'd rather spend my time giving advice on how to solve the problem, 
rather than deciding who can't be in the repository ... so, your 
cooperation in making my life more pleasant would be appreciated. 

Thanks,
