Project was working earlier in the day, suddenly is returning an internal server error:

Was something deprecated? Not really sure what the issue could be.

Looks like the guava dependency was changed, I switched it back to an earlier commit, which uses the following.

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
  <artifactId>guava-jdk5</artifactId>
  <version>17.0</version>
</dependency>

After running mvn clean install, error was gone.

Why do I have to use guava-jdk5? Would prefer to use the latest library, the app is running on java 8

[elharo]

You have lots of out of date dependencies there. E.g.

appengine-api-1.0-sdk should be about 1.9.64
Objectify should be around 5.1.25
servlet-api should not be alpha

There are likely others. It's hard to tell exactly which one is at fault here.
For Guava try 20.0.0

[chingor13]

You should not need guava-jdk for any recent version of google-cloud-java. Currently, our underlying libraries use guava 20.0 (for compatibility reasons).
