Guava 15 and Guava 16 causing NoSuchMethodError in GlassFish 4.0

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using Guava 16 in my project and having problems with GlassFish 4.0

The error message is: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 
com.google.common.base.Splitter.splitToList(Ljava/lang/CharSequence;)Ljava/util/
List;

My mvn dependency:tree is showing exactly one guava 16.0 and I don't have 
google collections. This is the tree (minus our own packages):

The same error is happening with guava 15.0.x and 16.0.1
If GlassFish bundles its own guava, any idea how I can fix this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like there are a number of people dealing with similar issues.  I found 
this glassfish bug that may help.

General Maven remark: `mvn dependency:tree` will list only the *selected* 
dependencies. Thus you'll always see Guava at most once (provided it was not 
shaded under another GAV). Add the -Dverbose flag to see which dependencies 
(versions) were suppressed. This should tell you against which version of Guava 
other third party dependencies are built.

@Stephan...I used the -Dverbose. No other dependency is including Guava. 
Checking at other forums, including the one Luke posted, we made a decision to 
move to Tomcat. GlassFish's own dependencies leak into apps classpath (and GF 
uses an older Guava.) Fixing the issue requires meddling with GF's own 
libraries and is error-prone. Such errors are a disaster waiting to happen. 
Thanks all for the help.
