Application Guava lib version conflicting with Quarkus version - quarkus

Question

When including a not-so-recent version of Guava (20.0) in my Quarkus (0.19.1) application via a third-party lib, at runtime (mvn compile quarkus:dev), I get the following exception:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.net.HostAndPort.getHostText()Ljava/lang/String;
Upgrading to the latest snapshot of the lib solves the problem because the version of Guava has been upgraded as well. But this is not an ideal solution as the lib has not yet released in this version. Furthermore, there are libraries out there relying on Guava (on another lib used by Quarkus internals) that might never get updated.
Is there a way to isolate the Guava lib (or any other lib) used by Quarkus from the one used by applications?
Edit
Some more details. The issue occurs with the org.littleshoot:littleproxy 1.1.2 (https://github.com/adamfisk/LittleProxy/blob/littleproxy-1.1.2/pom.xml) which has a dependency to com.google.guava:guava 20.0
A dependency tree check shows that com.google.guava:guava 27.0.1-jre is used instead of the 20.0 version.

Answer 1

I was able to get past the problem you describe by adding:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
<artifactId>guava</artifactId>
<version>20.0</version>
</dependency>
in Maven's dependencyManagement section (after littleproxy).
Note that this will likely change in the future since guava is a transient dependency of maven-embedder, but the codebase of that dependency has since been updated to remove guava so Quarkus needs to pick up the new version
