We have had many reports of Guava version incompatibilities in recent years. To address this, I proposed moving jclouds dependencies from Guava 18 to 22 and from Java 7 to 8. This should give us compatibility with Guava 22-30:
https://github.com/apache/jclouds/pull/75 We also have several reports of gson which is hard to address due to OSGi but something we may upgrade as well. Finally I have a personal issue with BouncyCastle which prevents upgrading OkHttp which prevents tests succeeding with later Java versions: https://github.com/apache/jclouds/pull/71 I wonder what other dependencies have troubled users? I would like jclouds 2.3.0 to address all of our common dependency issues since we will break some (and unbreak more) users due to the Guava upgrade. -- Andrew Gaul http://gaul.org/
