Maps Engine API library throws IllegalArgumentException when creating a GeoJsonGeometryCollection

Version of google-api-java-client? 1.18.0-rc

Java environment? OpenJDK 1.7.0

Describe the problem.

I'm having an issue when running code against the generated mapsengine library, 
rev5 from Maven, 1.18.0-rc.  I've attached the Jar I used, which was downloaded 
from here: 
http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Ccom.google.apis%7Cgoogle-api-services
-mapsengine%7Cv1-rev5-1.18.0-rc%7Cjar

This code:

import com.google.api.services.mapsengine.model.GeoJsonGeometryCollection;

class Repro {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  GeoJsonGeometryCollection geoms = new GeoJsonGeometryCollection();
 }
}

fails like so:

$ java -cp 
google-api-services-mapsengine-v1-rev5-1.18.0-rc.jar:google-http-client-1.18.0-r
c.jar:. Repro

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

The other geometry classes seem fine so far, it's just instantiating a 
GeoJsonGeometryCollection that breaks.
