If the dependencies are managed up to Guava 18, there is a problem with Guice using a deprecated and no longer public method.

I see that in the released version of the 4.0 beta: https://github.com/google/guice/blob/359c5c3ec4083dea3dd5060ffc4087d73ff98777/core/src/com/google/inject/internal/Annotations.java

On line 73 and 221 makeComputingMap is used. It's been changed to package scope in guava 18 it would appear.

It looks like this is fixed by 8743a0b

Any chance you could push a .1 release with this change?

Are you getting this exception with the 3.0 release of the 4.0 beta release? With 3.0 there should be no issue because we embed Guava internally. With 4.0.. I'll figure out how to cut a new beta.

Guava 18 compatible new beta release would be greatly appreciated. Gerrit Code Review project still depends on custom Guice build, because this fix wasn't released yet [1].

4.0 beta5 pushed with the changes.

We are building our own Guice artifact with Guava bundled and relocated the way it was in Guice 3 to avoid issues like this. I'd suggest doing this unless you happen to use Guava 16.0.1 (the version Guice is compiled against). Even if you do use Guava 16.0.1, I'd still recommend doing it in case you upgrade Guava in the future.

I'm still getting this error in when running 4.0-beta5

Are you sure you don't have an earlier guice in your classpath somewhere?
