Its not about removing Guava, but trying to minimize Guava usage with the
upgrade to Java 7. Sure u can still use BiMaps but there are other things
like the guava Closeables that Stevo mentioned should be replaced with
equivalent Java 7 constructs.

Switching isDir() to isDirectory() was my fault, will revert that back.
