Guava v14.0 breaks compatibility with some plugins

[socram8888]

Namely, PermissionsEx, and maybe others, whose binaries are compiled against v10.0. Google changed the signature and removed a few methods, so these can't be used without manually patching and recompiling them.

You can't download Guava v10.0 and add it to the classpath since it clashes with Glowkit's built-in (shadowed) Guava.

I see three options:

• Downgrade to Guava v10.0. Easiest bet, but you lose any kind of perfomance improvements or bugfixes you may get by using the latest build.
• Use the GuavaCompat10 hack I made half a year ago when I faced the same problem with SportBukkit (which also used v14.0 and also failed): https://github.com/socram8888/GuavaCompat10. It's a series of patches that readd a few missing methods, enough to allow PEX to run.
• Upgrade to v18.0. It won't fix the broken plugins but at least we would be compiling against the latest version available.

How's your third point a fix, then?

I think we'll probably have to go with compat hacks, but honestly, I would much prefer if these plugins just updated.

Guava was in CB, not B, right? Then can't you just add it as a lib like Log4J and others?
