dependency troubles

[Andrew Gaul <ga...@apache.org>]

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.

I'd say those three are mostly the dependencies we have. We don't have
much more, but those three are definitely the main pain points.
