Guava versioning is a perennial source of frustration to users and maintainers. Unfortunately jclouds (and specifically me) made poor choices by using Guava types in public interfaces. I created some tooling to address this but did not make much progress fixing jclouds itself: https://github.com/gaul/interface-maven-plugin Would Guava/Guice vendoring work given the existing mess? Could you hack up a partial proof of concept to see if it would work? Vendoring has other caveats so let's what others say. -- Andrew Gaul http://gaul.org/
